Happy Easter!
to all my Christian friends
. . . and, come to think of it, to all my non-Christian friends too!
I first heard this by Ry Cooder on his early album 'Into the Purple Valley' and adored it, it has a fantastic hook and despite my lack of Christian faith, I still adore it to this day
Here is the original by one of the father's of Gospel Music
Washington Phillips
"Washington Phillips is one of the most intriguing and delightful figures in American music history. His style is completely unique, both in his warm, plaintive singing and his use of zither for accompaniment. His treatments of early religious material is poignant and expressive and his zither playing backup is absolutely captivating. His complete output of 16 selections is presented here with brand new remastering that heightens all the irresistible characteristics of his performances."get Washington Phillips' 'Key to The Kingdom' from Yazoo Records
