Never what you might call a church goer! (confirmed Atheist! - ED) religious songs about the 'circle being unbroken' and 'going home' aways appealed, gospel and blues songs sharing the theme have always fascinated and this is no exception what a glorious song! For a Sunday!

Antoine says: "Yes I know, I posted this video a while ago, but whatever. Blind Connie Williams was a street musician in Philadelphia, he played from time to time with Reverend Gary Davis in New York. It's very little known today but I find it extremely moving, I can't get tired of watching and hearing him play and sing. He recorded about twenty tracks in 1961 that can be found on an excellent album just titled "Philadelphia Street Singer". Indispensable.”
he’s not wrong!
