The fusion of the Blind Boys' Deep South gospel with New Orleans funk, R&B and jazz (guests include the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Allen Toussaint) creates a superweapon of roots-music uplift: Full-throated versions of standards such as "I'll Fly Away" and "Down by the Riverside" will raise goose bumps even on the tatted-up arms of resolutely futurist hipsters. Bonus: The opening track, "Free at Last," somehow grooves exactly like Steely Dan.
