What is Blues then? It's a worried mind. It boils down to worry. Sometimes you worry so, it cause you to jump off the 'Frisco bridge up here, worry you so it cause you to stick a gun in you... that's all, it's worry. Some folks say, 'well, he went out of his head'. Well, if it's worry cause you to go out of your head, that's what it is. But that's the Blues - Reverend Rubin Lacy

Female guitarist playing "What a friend we have in Jesus"?
« on: March 02, 2007, 08:34:54 AM »
Guys,
 I think it was on WC that I heard a solo acoustic guitar version of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus." It's a rolicking version and at the end a woman says "what a friend we have in Jesus." So.. Anybody know which recording it is?

I was inspired to make a ukulele version of that recording and I want to hear it again to see how close I was to that version.
Thanks!
Alan

Could it have been Algia Mae Hinton? Go here and you can request it on the Juke:

Hi all,
Libba Cotten also recorded "What A Friend We Have In Jesus" on her first Folkways album, in a medley with "Sweet Bye And Bye".
All best,
Johnm

Yeah, that was certainly the Algia Mae Hinton version of the song, as she would often repeat the song title at the tune's conclusion. This was on her first CD release titled Honey Babe;Blues, Folk Tunes and Gospel From North Carolina and is a differnt release than the one on Cello/Music Maker. It was recorded in Port Townsend, WA and released in 1996. I have a few copies of this now rare release and could provide you with one if you want it.
