TOUR OF CANADA INCLUDING TORONTO JAZZ FESTIVAL
Mon, Mar. 24 2008
THE BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA BRING THE "SPIRIT" OF NEW ORLEANS TO CANADA WITH NATIONAL TOUR INCLUDING TORONTO JAZZ FESTIVAL.


NEW CD ‘DOWN IN NEW ORLEANS’ (TIME LIFE) CALLED "INSPIRATIONAL" (Toronto Sun) AND "MIRACULOUS" (Washington Post).


Four-time Grammy winners The Blind Boys of Alabama have announced a Canadian tour in support of their new album ‘Down In New Orleans’ (Time Life), the group’s first-ever recording adventure in the Big Easy. The CD represents the band’s desire to bring attention, and hope, to the still-storm-ravaged city and features guest appearances by some of New Orleans’ finest, including Allen Toussaint, The Preservation Hall Jazz Band, and The Hot 8 Brass Band. "We may not be able to swing a hammer," says founding member Jimmy Carter, "but we hope we can help inspire folks with a song." Blind Boys’ concerts are joyous celebrations. The Boston Globe observed earlier this month, "In concert, the Blind Boys of Alabama still raise up their bluesy hallelujahs to rarefied soul-groove highs." Rave reviews for ’Down In New Orleans’ are pouring in. The Washington Post says, "Inspired and relevant, [’Down In New Orleans’] borders on the miraculous." USA Today praises the "rousing musical tribute to New Orleans," and Rolling Stone called it "A superweapon of roots-music uplift."
