Classic Album Review: The Blind Boys Of Alabama | I’m A Soldier In The Army Of The Lord

The gospel legends resurrect some classics from the ’80s.

This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


The soulful gospel legends sing His praises in this newly unearthed and upgraded batch of buried treasure from 1982.

HITS: The Lord works in mysterious ways — that apparently don’t include turning these infectious cuts of gospel-funk and stirring soul into Top 10 singles.

MISSES: All that’s missing is the collection plate.

EXTRAS: Half a dozen unreleased tracks every bit as heavenly as the old ones.
