I know this is an old thread, but as I noted in 2004 on one of the other related threads, this Sacred Harp hymn entitled "WHITE" achieved being one of my all-time favourite songs after hearing English group JOLLY JACK sing it, replete with gorgeous male harmonies!

I first heard it on Peter Bellamy's 1979 album "Both Sides Now" (with Waterson harmonies) and then was given a copy of Jolly Jack's heart-stopping recording for Fellside in 1988 (on "A Long Time Travelling" album).

Ever after, I tried to weave it into the repertoire of a cappella harmony groups I sang with! Sad to say, my voice entered a dysphonic era in 2009 and that was the end of that dream :(

Though I quite like The Wailin Jennys, I was a little .... ahem .... "surprised" (shall we say), to find The Net and YouTube fairly swamped with young girlie "covers of their song", LOL! - no one mentions its true origins and very rarely does a male version come up for listening.

Come All Ye Singing Blokes out there - seek out that Jolly Jack version of "White" and see how wonderful those bass harmonies can be - then help redress the balance on YouTube - PLEASE!! :):):)

Cheers!

PS   apparently called "White" in tribute to Benjamin Franklin White, the 1844 compiler of "The Sacred Harp" - composed by Elder Edmund Dumas.
