The Blind Boys of Alabama are recognized worldwide as living legends of gospel music. Celebrated by The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and The RecordingAcademy/GRAMMYs with Lifetime Achievement Awards, inducted into the Gospel Music Hall ofFame, and winners of six GRAMMY® Awards, they have attained the highest levels of achievement in a career that spans over 70 years. The Blind Boys are known for crossing multiple musical boundaries with their remarkable interpretations of everything from traditional gospel favorites to contemporary spiritual material by songwriters such as EricClapton, Prince, and Tom Waits. Recently, the group’s decades-long mission of spreading light and love has taken on even deeper context as they’ve reckoned with the loss of two of their own, Paul Beasley and Benjamin Moore, both longtime members of the Blind Boys’ tight-knit family. 'Echoes Of The South' is released in their honor-as well as for the group's recently-retired leader, Jimmy Carter-and keeps the Blind Boys' long-held mission statement at its core: “As long as everybody gives all that they have to give and we singsongs that touch the heart, we'll live on forever.” In 2022, the group had a collaborative recording with Béla Fleck, nominated for a Grammy. In 2023, Blind Boys garnered another Grammy nomination for Best Americana Single for 'The Message 'featuring Black Violin. 2024 started off the year with a return to the GRAMMY® Awards with three nominations and one win for Best Roots Gospel Album-‘ Echoes Of The South.’ The definitive book, titled Spirit of the Century, was released in March 2024. It’s an insiderhistory of the Blind Boys of Alabama, the longest-running group in American music, and the untoldstory of their world written with band members and key musical colleagues.
Cory Henry: The Virtuoso Who Redefines Soul and Sound - From the moment Cory touched a Hammond B3 organ at just two years old, it was clear: a prodigy was in the making.
