Whose head was bending Lord
I met him in the evening
He was headed down that long lonesome road

You'd better run
Get away from here, somebody's calling you

More JD Sumner and co than Elvis, but a good track if only a short one.
You better tap those feet ;-) Rock wine in a gospel bottle....
I very rarely play gospel songs but this is certainly uplifting.
Like this one and basically all of the gospel songs...the more "gospelish" and "praise the Lord" the better...=)
Gospel with an upbeat tempo and less gospelish. Hence quite an enjoyable recording. Apart from live recordings the main stream gospel songs are not on my daily or even monthly list. This is one of the few that make it from time to time.
This is the kind of gospel music I really enjoy, it got "spirit" and that is what it's all about. The "praise the Lord" songs are not my thing.
