1206.0. "Jesus Love never failed me yet"" by PEKING::GERRYT () Thu Jan 27 1994 13:03

    Steve Wright has been playing a track recently, of a tramp recorded
    some time ago singing "Jesus Love never failed me yet'
    
    Any ideas of the artist and label?
    
    Thanks,

    Oh my sainted aunt.

    My dad has been raving about this monstrous record for weeks.  Apparently
    it lasts the best part of 72 minutes. 

    But I can't remember who it's by and I can't speak to my dad until the
    weekend.

    Try ringing Radio 2 or Classic FM, I think they play it, or mention it,
    repeatedly.

    Unhelpfully yours,
    Goldy.
1206.3Gavin Bryars / Tom WaitsFORTY2::ASHMail Interchange Group, ReadingThu Jan 27 1994 16:599
Aaarrggh, no it's awful! No, not fair, I haven't heard (more than 5 mins of) it.

It's by Gavin Bryars, with additional vocal by Tom Waits. You'll most likely 
find the album (yes, it's that long) in the Contemporary Classical section, 
where all of Bryars' stuff is. He's a composer who works somewhere on the 
classical - jazz 'boundary', and has quite a few records made. He also plays 
(double bass I think) on some.

and I think it's 'Blood', not 'Love'. Over to our religious correspondent to 
discover if that makes a difference.

    I learned last week, that this rather striking piece of music is
    available on a CD of the same name, on the Point Music label (cat.
    no. 428-823-2).
