Blind Boys of Alabama Concert Tickets

The Blind Boys of Alabama are a gospel music group from Alabama that first formed at the Talledega School for the Deaf and Blind in 1939. Although the Blind Boys of Alabama have been singing gospel music for more than five decades, it's only recently that the group has had the benefit of a major record company behind them. The founding members were Clarence Fountain, Johnny Fields, George Scott, Ollice Thomas, and Vel Trayler.

Spanning an incredible seven decades together, The Blind Boys of Alabama have a rich and incredible history. Bringing yet another album, I'll Find A Way, they're doing exactly what they do best, singing the gospel and blues, all in the name of God. Produced by Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, I'll Find A Way is a fantastic collection of gospel songs, both classics and new...

For these gospel titans' latest album, Justin Vernon of Bon Iver brought the group to his Wisconsin studio and added sparse production to its lush traditional harmonies. The marriage is not perfect. The various cameos (Sam Amidon, Merrill Garbus of Tune-Yards among them) can make the Blind Boys seem like guests on their own LP...

Make no bones about it--Blind Boys of Alabama are an American gospel institution. Coming from these longstanding delegates of the genre, even a slapdash record of tried and true gospel songs would still have shifted its fair share of units. But here we are with I'll Find a Way--essentially a collaborative album with artists who've largely only found prominence in the last half a decade or so. Needless to say, the record marks a bold move for Blind Boys...

The concept of artists from across the generations working together isn't a new one but it isn't always a huge success. Too often there's an unnecessary desire to add a new, younger dimension to the sound of musicians who are doing just fine already thank you very much. The Blind Of Boys Alabama have been singing gospel for an astonishing 74 years now, winning five Grammys in the process yet are hardly household names...

Insouciance isn't a gospel word, yet that's what makes the Justin Vernon-produced I'll Find A Way so engaging. Here the iconic Blind Boys of Alabama sound more joyful, jubilant and ready than ever, their faith a source of palpable euphoria, whether laced with tuba, tambourine or resonator guitar. The Bon Iver leader makes Way a progressive, rootsy affair. As a drum echoes hollow and the piano sustains and spreads like a sunset, Vernon's reverence permeates Bob Dylan's "Every Grain of Sand...

During the one and only time I saw the Blind Boys of Alabama, they struck me as quite a unit. In the middle of a gig by Peter Gabriel in 2002, he introduced the song "Sky Blue" by admitting that it was just not coming together in the studio. The solution he eventually found? The Blind Boys of Alabama. In Gabriel's words, he "brought them in and they nailed it". Partway through the song, the four elderly blind men rose up on a platform in the center of the round stage...

Formed at the Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind the same year Germany invaded Poland, the Blind Boys of Alabama are nothing short of an American institution. The gospel legends spent four days holed up in a snow-covered Wisconsin cabin with Justin Vernon of Bon Iver for

After the Crescent City soul of Down in New Orleans and country gospel roots of Take the High Road , The Blind Boys of Alabama enlisted Bon Iver's Justin Vernon to produce their latest album. The durable group, led by Jimmy Carter, and including founding bass singer Clarence Fountain, still offer joyful expressions of Christian faith...
