"After 80 years, the troupe's latest line-up offer traditional songs of struggle and religion leavened with covers of soul giants".

"Ultimately, it offers an inspiring lyric focus that exhorts us to forget cheap grace and overly simplistic words as a means to salvation. It begs us to live in this wounded, bleeding world with hope amid darkness, difficulty, and tragedy. If this rootsy, raw album is the group's last, they can be very proud: It's one for the ages".

"Named after the first radio show that the Blind Boys sang on, this album was also the first one they made completely in their home state of Alabama. It's lively, fun, serious, and simply very well worth the listen".
