Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet – Tom Waits and Gavin Bryars
I find that the music being made these days is more likely to speak truthfully, in short but meaningful sentences, about the stunning beauty of the ordinary.

I love this recording! I bought it way back in 1993, when it had just come out. (Because I also believe it, it is even more powerful.) I need to pull this recording out again, and put it on my iPod. Isn’t it wonderful?

Such a beautiful track – all the more poignant that it’s a recording of a tramp singing. Makes you think of all the personal, individual dramas going on at any time in the world. You can read Gavin Bryars’ story of the writing of the piece here: http://www.gavinbryars.com/Pages/jesus_blood_never_failed_m.html
