Tune Req: When that last trumpet sounds

From: GUEST

Can anyone direct me to recorded versions of a spiritual that goes something like this:

"Where will I be, when that first trumpet sounds. Where will I be, when it sounds so loud? Sounds so loud, well it wakes up the dead. Where will I be when it sounds?"

Heard a blues artist play this at Bard college in 1984 and have not stumbled across any recording of it since.

Thanks in advance, Tom

Hi, Tom - looks like Dan Smith recorded it (click for sample). If you search under "song title" for first trumpet sounds at CDNow (click), you'll find several recordings of the song.

Oh, hey, I found a recording of it in the other room, and it's terrific. It's available on a CD from Rev. Dan Smith called Live at Fox Hollow. It's available from Folk-Legacy Records, [phone]. This is one terrific gospel CD.

A real rousing version of this number was recorded by Professor Johnson & His Gospel Singers and issued on E.P in the UK about fifty years ago. Well worth trying to find.
