Larry recorded this song in 1976 and was released on the Album "The Story of the Tune" in 1983 and then again in 2003 on his album "American Roots"---
I have to say this may just be my favorite version that I have ever heard of this song....
This history behind "Swing Low Sweet Chariot"-
"Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" is a Negro spiritual. The first recording was by the Fisk Jubilee Singers in 1909. In 2002, the Library of Congress honored the song as one of 50 recordings chosen that year to be added to the National Recording Registry. It was also included in the list of Songs of the Century, by the Recording Industry Association of America and the National Endowment for the Arts.
