This one is. :) This version,especially
I knew that you’d pull through for me, Lucy. :)
Not sure if this is the best version because I don’t have sound right now, but “Poor Wayfaring Stranger” is one of my favorites
@Cruiser One of my favorite movies too – and the soundtrack is excellent. Many wonderful gospel songs. Do you know it @Jude ?
@penguin. I did see Brother Where Are Though and I am a huge Alison Krauss fan. I do remember that song. :) I’ll have to check out the soundtrack again.
@Facade :) Made my morning. I love it.
@Cruiser‘s mention made me put it on and I’m listening to it now. Many great songs! I love Down to the River and also I’ll Fly Away.
@penguin, never heard of that song, but, I like it. Thanks!
Yeah – it’s a good wallowing song.
I thought this song was old when I heard it as a kid, but it was produced in the late 70s in the old style. The singers weren’t young.

And I gotta plug Aretha singing Old Landmark on Amazing Grace. Just Google her name and that song. Hooo! Saaaang it, ‘Reatha!
@Roby when I was a young child, our local radio station played that song at their sign-off every evening at 8 p.m.
Michael Row Your Boat Ashore.
I never knew it was a religious song for years after I learned it out of my Pete Seger Songbook to play on my guitar.
@Neizvestnaya Michael Row the Boat Ashore is an old African-American Spiritual and the words were first recorded by William Francis Allen in a book “Slave Songs” in 1867. Allen noted that this was a boat song sung to keep time when rowing from the islands on the banks of South Carolina and Virginia to the mainland.
@bkcunningham: Thanks for the bite of history, I still love that song :D
guess no one likes Amazing Grace or Elvis !!!!!!
How great tho art..LOVE IT.
