Listen to the whole show
Sidewalk Saints Show #2653 Thursday, March 15, 2007
Slide guitarist Ben Bowen King resurrects a forgotten tradition of American Gospel guitarists of the deep South on this New Sounds program as we listen to music from his most recent release "Sidewalk Saints." King is able to use his "gospel slide guitar" to 'preach' and 'wail in soulful beauty,' transporting you back to a lost chapter in American music. Hear some nearly unrecognizable arrangements of things like "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" and "Will the Circle Be Unbroken," along with music from composer Thomas Albert and early music vocalists Anonymous 4, who look back at traditional American hymns like ¡§Amazing Grace¡¨ and more.
