The five-time Grammy-winners’ latest album, Echoes Of The South, draws its name from the Birmingham radio program that hosted the group’s very first professional performance back in 1944. Pairing traditional spirituals and long-lost gospel classics with vintage soul and R&B tunes, the collection is as moving as it is timeless, transcending genre and era to touch something deep and fundamental about the human condition. These are songs of love and friendship, joy and gratitude, faith and perseverance. Uplifting as they are, the recordings can feel bittersweet at times, too: 91-year-old Jimmy Carter retired from performing following the sessions, while two longtime members, Paul Beasley and Benjamin Moore, Jr., have since passed away. Despite the losses, the Blind Boys of Alabama show no signs of slowing down. “The spirit of the Blind Boys isn’t about what you can’t do it’s about what you can do,” says singer Ricky McKinnie. “As long as we stay true to that, as long as we sing songs that touch the heart, this group will live on forever.” The most honored and revered group in Gospel music. Winners of 5 GRAMMY; including Lifetime Achievement. Echoes of the South brings the group back to Muscle Shoals, Alabama to record, album produced by Matt Ross-Spang and Ben Tanner, band features Phil Cook, Dennis Crouch and Chad Gamble. Global touring schedule planned for 2023/2024. Documentary film to be released in conjunction with the album, book on career to be released in early 2024.
