Sister Rosetta Tharpe Up Above My Head - Acoustic

[kitniyatran]

Just a reminder, I know there are some Sister Rosetta Tharpe lovers here, but it seems a while, so:

A different take than we're used to for this one.

You're all well come.I didn't see any need to repost the others, but this one was new to me(nice sounding Barney Kessel Gibby), so I figgered I'd remind us all.

Thanks Mando, I've only seen short clips of that one on blues specials. Nice to see the whole thing.
Those of you who haven't seen ( or heard) the song Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, "Sister Rosetta goes before us" It sure is a very worthy Youtube ( sorry, I dont know how to link) Directly influenced by the Song, produced by T. Bone Burnet, and still haunting and beautiful. Music from up above. Very nice!
I think Sister Rosetta would have liked it too.
