Thread Name: Fisk Jubilee Singers
Subject: RE: Fisk Jubilee Singers
I'm going to locate and review the original song book, and see how many of those songs I still sing today. I remember that the "O Brother Where Art Thou" soundtrack had only two songs that aren't fairly common around here. For years, I had heard these Fisk Jubilee Songs done by bluegrass groups, brother groups (Stanley and Louvin Brothers), and some Old Time Bands. I can't wait to hear how they did "Steal Away.' This is sung in many churches here today.
As Usual, Thanks Masato and catspaw!!!!! You are both great resources!!
