Spartacus: You haven't heard the song sung unless you hear it by Bozie Sturdevant... recorded in a southern church long ago. Send shivers down your spine. Let me know if you're interested..

A friend of mine sent that version to me a few minutes ago...it's amazing. Thanks for the offer, though. His voice is incredible....when he hits that falsetto - It does give me shivers...

Bozie Sturdivant's singing of the hymn, as Jerry suggests, will stun you! It's included on the great CD #1500 from Rounder (you can get it through Camsco) titled "A Treasury of Field Recordings from the Library of Congress," selected and edited by Stephen Wade. Everyone who professes to care about folk music should own a copy of this CD, and learn from it.
