and legendary gospel group the Blind Boys of Alabama have teamed up to record a new studio album due out September 20th on Virgin Records. "There Will Be A Light" features originals like "Where Could I Go", "Church House Steps", "Take My Hand", and a cover of the country standard "Satisfied Mind".

The UK press couldn't be better!The Guardian says of the album: "Harper's soft, blues-drenched vocals marry seamlessly with those of septuagenarian gospel veterans the Blind Boys.." The Independent On Sunday called it "Passionate, inspired, simple and uplifting....this does for gospel/blues what 'O Brother' did for country"
