On their umpteenth release,
the Five Blind Boys of Alabama mix some modern blues and R&B into their core gospel sound. The rhythm section, led by the organ of the legendary
Booker T. Jones, keeps the accompaniment simple as the group soars through some traditional material ("Closer Walk with Thee," "Every Time I Feel the Spirit, "), a few originals by lead vocalist
Clarence Fountain, and a transcendent version of
Bob Dylan's "I Believe in You." ~ Jason Ankeny
