Thread Name: Easter Songs Please
Subject: RE: Easter Songs Please( to egg you on further)
Then there's the realms of Country and Bluegrass to mine from. Here's a few of the more obvious:

"Tramp On The Street"-Wilma Lee & Stoney Cooper, Jack Elliot, Joan Baez and many others.

"The Cry From The Cross"-Title song from a Ralph Stanley sacred album.

"We Shall Rise"-Joe Val & The New England Bluegrass Boys, The Sauceman Brothers, Stanley Brothers

"Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?"-Seldom Scene, Johnny Cash (w/ The Carter Family), Tennessee Ernie Ford, Stanley Bros. and plenty more.

"Carpenter Of Wood"-The Bluegrass Cardinals (A very nice contemporary piece-worth hunting up!)

.....Can PM album whereabouts on a few of these if needed.
