Enjoying a 70-year career, five-time GRAMMY winner Clarence Fountain is the only living original founding member and former leader of the legendary Blind Boys of Alabama! Joined by Sam Butler (also a former member) and renowned producer Jim Tullio (Steve Goodman, Mavis Staples) this new set is a fresh take on Fountain's signature bluesy-gospel sound that is rich in traditional down-home Americana, while reminiscent of the classic and extraordinary work Fountain created with the Blind Boys. Donald Fagen (Steely Dan) is a guest musician on two tracks and the author of the project's liner notes!
