Lizz Wright has a new album out titled Fellowship. I have been enjoying it a lot. It has more gospel music than her previous albums have had, though all of her music has had a pretty strong gospel influence. I cannot find much live performance of the songs on the album, but I am going to go ahead and do this post with a video for one of the songs, and an interview/performance from Mountain Stage. She does sing Amazing Grace on the album. At one time a year or two ago there was a video of here performing this song, which was probably one of my all time favorite YouTube videos. I cannot find that video anymore, but if it shows up again, I will be sure to post it.
"I Remember, I Believe", written by Bernice Johnson Reagon. This is my favorite track on the album.
An interview interspersed with some performance clips from Mountain Stage.
I was surprised when I realized that I have not already done a blog post on Patsy Cline. I did include here in one of my Christmas Posts last year. So to rectify the situation, here are a couple clips.
Despite the fact that she was killed in an airplane crash before she was 30, she is still one of the most beloved singers of the 20th century. As Pam Tillis says in the video at the end of this post, "She wasn't a voice that belonged to any time period."
One of her biggest hits was this song, written by Willie Nelson, "Crazy".
"She's Got You"
This clip of "Walkin' After Midnight" is practically a music video from the days before video.
A clip with interviews of her daughter, Julie Fudge, and Pam Tillis.
I did a post on Howlin' Wolf just last month to mark his 100th birthday. He is another one of NPR's 50 greatest voices, and there are some more great videos of him, so I have decided to do a second Howlin' Wolf post.
