Four time GRAMMY Awards winners The Blind Boys of Alabama are plotting a
national tour in support of their new album Down In New Orleans (Jan

of Gospel music legends including The Dixie Hummingbirds, Chuck Campbell,
and the McIntosh County Shouters in the National Heritage Masters: Gospel
Caravan concert January 25. The tour also sees the band sharing bills with
Mavis Staples and Taj Mahal.
Blind Boys concerts are joyous celebrations. The Boston Globe observed
earlier this month, In concert, the Blind Boys of Alabama still raise up
their bluesy hallelujahs to rarefied soul-groove highs. In a recent concert
review, The Boston Herald said, [The] Blind Boys wow... the night was as
solid as a rock. The Philadelphia Inquirer agreed, In their own way, The
Blind Boys have given black vernacular music a 21st century significance.
They may be from Alabama but theyve been spending time in the Crescent
City. The Blind Boys new album Down In New Orleans, their first in three
years, will be released January 29, 2008 on the Time Life Music label.
The Blind Boys of Alabama are Jimmy Carter, Eric Ricky McKinnie, Joey

![The Blind Boys of Alabama from their new DVD exclusive clip
Four-time Grammy winners The Blind Boys of Alabama will release a new DVD, Live In New Orleans, on February 24th. The DVD was filmed at the historic Crescent City club Tipitinas during the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival earlier this year. Inspired by the Blind Boys critically acclaimed album Down in New Orleans, the DVD continues their heartfelt tribute to the Crescent City and includes guest appearances by old friend Susan Tedeschi as well as New Orleans-born acts the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Dr. John, Henry Butler and Marva Wright.
Live in New Orleans combines new songs and old favorites, with selections from the Down in New Orleans disc (just nominated for a Grammy award) performed alongside songs from the Blind Boys four Grammy-winning CDs as well as several classic gospel tunes. The DVD also features bonus material: The Making of Down in New Orleans program which aired on BET earlier this year, and the music video for Free at Last, filmed in New Orleans.
The Blind Boys latest album, Down in New Orleans, was released on January 29th, a recording laden with hope and promise for the city still recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. The CD includes performances by some of the citys finest musicians, including David Torkanowsky and The Hot 8 Brass Band. We may not be able to swing a hammer, explains founding member Jimmy Carter, but we hope we can help inspire folks with a song.
The Washington Post said, Inspired and relevant, [Down In New Orleans] borders on the miraculous. USA Today praised the rousing musical tribute to New Orleans, Rolling Stone called it A super weapon of roots-music uplift, while the Toronto Sun gasped that the CD is Inspirational.
Not only known for their powerful and award winning CDs, the Blind Boys live concerts are legendary, packed with exuberance, passion and spirit. The Boston Globe observed, In concert, the Blind Boys of Alabama still raise up their bluesy hallelujahs to rarefied soul-groove highs.
