The Blind Boys of Alabama - Down in New Orleans


The Blind Boys of Alabama - Down in New Orleans

Blues

For their new album four-time Grammy winners The Blind Boys of Alabama recorded in New Orleans for the first time in their almost 75 year history. Amongst the musicians supporting include legendary pianist/producer and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Allen Toussaint and The Preservation Hall Jazz Band. After performing together for over six decades, The Blind Boys of Alabama have enjoyed one of the more striking comebacks in recent memory. Their last several albums have earned these hipster septuagenarians the best reviews and record sales of their career, and a completely new, contemporary audience. This album is a fusion of style and nuance that links many disparate aspects, both chronological and geographical, of American musical tradition.
