BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA - Duets (2009)

The Blind Boys have frequently been invited to appear on other great artists' albums, resulting in a number of performances that have been collected into Duets. Their first-ever duets collection includes songs with Ben Harper, Bonnie Raitt, Randy Travis, Lou Reed, Solomon Burke, Susan Tedeschi and Asleep at the Wheel. In addition, it features three new recordings with Lou Reed, blues legend John Hammond, and Jamaican legend Toots Hibbert of Toots & The Maytals. The diverse group of artists collaborating on Duets reflects the expansive appeal of the group as well as the sweeping reverence for their talent. This new album follows their Grammy and Dove Award-winning CD Down in New Orleans.

On the one hand, Duets includes traditional blues artists like Charlie Musselwhite (“I Had Trouble”), John Hammond (“One Kind Favor”), and Solomon Burke (“None Of Us Are Free”), their gravelly voices highlighted against the loamy blend of the Blind Boys’ harmonies. On the other hand, country/western artists like Randy Travis (“Up Above My Head”) and the swing band Asleep At the Wheel (“The Devil Ain’t Lazy”) call on the Blind Boys’ exquisite rhythmic gifts to punctuate more jubilant songs.
