This is in my mind a perfect example of a gospel blues song. Note how the drums and tambourine offer a backbeat that propels the music forward. And even though the subject of dying, and being done with suffering is the main point of the music it is still joyous and very uplifting.
I think that blues music inherited this from gospel music.

This is really nice.
I must admit, I'd go to any church that played this kind of music.
Sadly, I'd only go for the music though. ; (
Nice find & Cheers!
oddly, this performance is from the tom hanks movie "the ladykillers."
great music, though!
