Rory Block, A Father and Two Sons


Picture
    Rory Block, A Father and Two Sons (American Bible Society)

             Rory Block is widely recognized as one of the most authentic Delta blues singers   
      
performing today.   Her driving guitar styles are at the same time traditional and original.   
      Her lyrics are as warm as they are compelling.   This composition was commissioned by the 
      American Bible Society to accompany their music video on the prodigal son.   It was released 
      by Rounder Records in 1994 on her award-winning album, Angel of Mercy.
