Stewie	Tune Req: The Angel Gabriel From God Was Sent (20)	RE: Tune Req: The Angel Gabriel From God Was Sent	06 Dec 11
Norman and Nancy Blake recorded a delightfully jaunty piece entitled 'Angel Gabriel' on their 'Hobo's Last Ride' album [Shanachie CD 6020]. Unfortunately, there are no notes to indicate its provenance. The following web page has a set of lyrics that are similar to the Blakes' version and a note indicating that it is traditional 'camp meeting' song: Angel Gabriel. Apart from that page, I am unable to find any reference to a Doc Watson recording of it. Can any 'catter confirm the accuracy of the claim that it is a 'camp meeting' song? There's a video by a duo called Among the Oak & Ash here: Angel Gabriel. Closer to the Blakes' treatment is this one, but the singing is a bit underwhelming: Angel Gabriel. --Stewie.
