Description
Produced by Justin Vernon (Bon Iver, Kathleen Edwards), Ill Find a Way is a unique collaboration between one of popular musics longestrunning acts and one of its fastestrising stars. Known primarily for his work in the indie and folk realms, the Bon Iver frontman proved a perfect fit to work with the Blind Boys, exhibiting a deep knowledge and appreciation of gospel music. Vernon and old friend and band mate Phil Cook (Megafaun, The Shouting Matches) corralled a lively backing band for the album and handpicked a range of songs for the Blind Boys to sing. Ill Find a Way features some of the Blind Boys most fervent vocals as well as contributions by a new generation of Blind Boys fans Sam Amidon, Shara Worden of My Brightest Diamond, Merrill Garbus of tUnEyArDs, Casey Dienel of White Hinterland, Patty Griffin, and Justin Vernon himself. The result is a rousing collection of gospel songs new and old that address lifes most desperate hours but also savor the triumphs and reassurances.
