Re: Jim's voice works wonders in a time of grief...
Larry, thank you for the kind words. I've always loved Jim's gospel recordings, and I was happy to see all the overdubs that are included in the new release. "The Night Watch" is one of my favorites, and it will be great to hear it in a new musical setting. I'm also looking forward to reading the stories behind the songs and what they meant to people, like the dying woman you mentioned. I'm sure Jim would be thrilled to know that his fans have remained so loyal to him all these years, and that's because his recordings are so timeless. In the relatively short period of time that Jim was on the scene, we the fans have been truly blessed that he left behind so many wonderful recordings.
