Blind Boys of Alabama Release Mini-documentary: “This May be the Last Time”

“At the end of the day, I want the people to remember that the Blind Boys (of Alabama) have tried and tried to touch lives and create hope where there’s no hope.”

So says Jimmy Carter toward the end of “This May be the Last Time,” a short - 22 minutes - documentary about the making of Echoes of the South, the 2023 album that ended up being Carter’s last with the band he first sung with in 1939. The title, like the song of the same name, is eerily prophetic, as two other band members - Ben Moore and Paul Beasley - died between the recording and release of the LP and film, which is “presented in loving memory” of the late singers.

Filmed in 2022 at Alabama’s Nutthouse studios, “Last Time” finds the quintet at work on their swan song as each member talks about their beginnings and their time as Blind Boys. Musical director Joey Williams is the youngest, and only sighted member. He refers to the others as “the elders” and marvels at his good fortune.

“I learned more with them than I could’ve learned in (a music) school. … I’ve been taking it in for years and years,” he says.

Williams will continue the Blind Boys with remaining members Rickie McKinnie, Rev. Julius Love and other recruits. Which is just how Carter wants it.

“I hope that when I have to pass the torch to somebody else, I hope that they will be willing to receive it and keep the band going,” he says.

Getting through the losses is what the Blind Boys of Alabama - no matter who is in the lineup - do best, McKinnie says.

“You have to be able to go through the rain to appreciate the sunshine.”

as a response to this post

dude… real…

and now I realize that sort of depth has been relegated to the mid to late-mid-seasons quirks, and not mainstays of their dynamic. Liane has undergone some heavy changes in character these past few years, she’s exhausted with Cartman and has started to put her foot down— which means we’re seein less of the sort of Liane that sings along with Cartman. She directly communicates with him and Cartman has started to fight back. He’s dedicated to outlasting her instead of buttering her up like he used to… :’( (“eric if you’re going to yell at me again about how we live in this hot dog, I don’t think I have the strength”)

I don’t think the tension has ever been this high for this long between these two 🤔it’s taking their dynamic to a new direction sure. I don’t think we’ll get that mutual denial love bombing manipulation/negotiation back… it makes sense for their characters rn but I sure do miss it.

#it just got me thinking how liane and kyle have started to echo each other in scolding eric. he (in his paranoia obvi) noticed rght away #maybe the more liane ups her parenting game (correctly disciplines him i mean) the more eric will believe any sort of discipline=kyle speak #kyle=Out To Get Me So Not Kewl= bad and he doubles down on his rancid behavior instead of learning #i’m lookin at Dikinbaus and thinkin maybe trey is starting this trend where liane still gets cartman what he wants but in a way where eric #doesn’t like and that’s gonna be her way of taking back control of him or smth idk #i don’t got a clue what’s in that man’s brain #south park #analysis

caught some (upside-down) reflections of the ring of fire eclipse in my camera, including a moment of totality!

#it was so fucking cool #we woke up early and drove 3 hours south to watch it #there were a ton of people at the place we stopped at with their camp chairs out parked on the side of the road #got to share lots of pictures eith strangers..#it was lovely. humanity is wonderful #thousands of people coming together for the same few minutes to watch nature work it's magic!!#when totality occurred everyone cheered and clapped and it echoed all down the road #someone even set off firecrackers #what a wonderful thing to experience!!#on our way home now~~#*mine #space

Album Review: Blind Boys of Alabama - Echoes of the South

Looking at the tracklist and hearing such songs as “Work Until My Days are Done” and “The Last Time,” it almost seems as if the Blind Boys of Alabama saw what was coming as they recorded Echoes of the South.

Two longtime members of the band - Benjamin Moore Jr. and Paul Beasley, whose falsetto features prominently on “Jesus You’ve Been Good to Me” - have since died and 91-year-old Jimmy Carter, the group’s last remaining tie to its 1944 founding, retired from touring just before the album was released.

That makes Echoes of the South - with its title in Braille on the cover - something of an ending and a new beginning as the group intends to soldier on with new members.

“Here we are, the Blind Boys of Alabama,” Carter intones as his brothers in music sing wordlessly behind him on the opening “Send it on Down.”

“You know, we’ve been around a long time. But the good news is, we’re still here.”

This album finds the Blind Boys in full gospel mode, sans guest singers and musicians, celebrating their partnership with Pop Staples’ “Friendship” and ending the LP with an apropos plea in “Heaven Help Us All.”

Echoes of the South is a fine coda to this iteration of the Blind Boys of Alabama. Already on the road with new members, the band will likely release a kind of debut album in the not-too-distant future.

“The spirit of the Blind Boys isn’t about what you can’t do; it’s about what you can do,” said singer Ricky McKinnie, who will carry on with Rev. Julius Love and the new cast. “As long as we stay true to that, as long as we sing songs that touch the heart, this group will live on forever.”

Amen.

Some time ago I bought this last piece of the first print Echoes From The Void #1 - Better Without You from Kelly McKernan and she signed it for me. It took a long time but yesterday it finally came home and it's so beautiful. Now I need to track the other ones! I'm glad that I could support two artists I love.

There better not be a fucking tornado while I'm sleeping, or I'll be so pissed

#i dont wanna die in my sleep or worse wake up to my house damaged #marquilla #i wish i wasnt so tired bc i like watching storm radars but im eepy sleepy #reading the radar is super easy to me and i have tried explaining it to mom many many times but shes like ??#like okay green yellow orange and red all rain. the farther from green you go the more heavy the rain #not even getting into hook echos and shit but like basic 'this is what those colors mean' and i only learned bc i was a very #anxious kid and storms scared me and instead of explaining the difference between watch and warnings and how #the radar colors work they were like dont worry ab it. thinking keeping me in the dark would ease my worry #like no i have the anxiety where i NEED to know i NEED to be in control as best i can #so i learned and now i feel comfort like okay the red is south of us the storm is moving east. we should be okay #but AUGH

I don't know what it's like to fall in love at first sight but I have to imagine it was similar to what I felt the first time I saw Chicago.

#geeky talks #granted i was coming from the north instead of the south like now #because i was taking the train from my college north of chicago #and i remember a feeling like #oh this is it isn't it #i think of that every time i get to chicago #you'd think i'd stop getting an echo of that after so many years #but every time i see that skyline after being away a while #i feel a small echo of it again

okay, i’m on episode 7 and so far i don’t hate it.

it feels a bit like it was made more to be nostalgia bait for folks who know and love the original. like they’ve been speed running from iconic set piece to iconic set piece but stripping out much of the story that actually made them matter?

idk i don’t know a lot about writing, but some of these episodes feel like… reference mashups

#netflix atla #spoilers #ish #i’m annoyed that in the speed running they also cut a lot of Sokka’s early growth #vis a vis the sexism #just saw that post about the article that was like #‘stuff in the original was iffy’#like… they weren’t saying he was RIGHT #they were giving him a place to GET BETTER FROM #We see from the northern tribe that gender roles are very rigid in that tribe #likely that echoes in the south #and Sokka takes his lumps and learns over time #also why isn’t Katara getting fucking pissed at Pakku
