Capsule review: Blind boys of Alabama - Spirit of the century (2001)


I'm racking my brain if this is the only great Real World album there ever was. If today's veteran artists are venerated for showing up at the studio awake and unhooked from the oxygen machine, it's because of records like this, on which true veterans showed us just what experience can do to capable artists. Something frightening. And it's not just the vocal quartet (combined age 678), but David Lindley, Danny Thompson, John Hammond, Charlie Musselwhite... A man's band.
