These Alabaman blind singers met at a school for the blind in the late 1930s. Clarence Fountain led the group with deep shouts, lofty cries, and rumbling, emotional singing. Contains the revved tearjerker "Goodbye Mother." The group singing is tight, the tempo and material varied, the minimal percussion perfectly complementary, the guitar playing subtle, sparse, beautiful. But the real treat is when the five singers wind each other up, like a spinning top, into ecstatic realms of entwined shouting, singing, and praising that will please any ear.
