The Blind Boys of Alabama

Omnivore continues its deluxe series dedicated to The Blind Boys of Alabama with an expanded edition of 2005's Atom Bomb, featuring traditional gospel melodies along with surprises such as Eric Clapton's "Presence of the Lord" and Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky," all rendered in the group's stirring style incorporating flourishes of R&B, jazz and even rap and rock.  Billy Preston and David Hidalgo are among the guests on this sublime record, newly expanded with seven previously unreleased instrumental cuts of the album's tracks.
