Noel Gourdin is SOOO talented. I coped his CD this weekend. “The River” is such a great song and so cinematic.
“I held my breath when they dipped my head and I came up shiny and new. Found out about love in the back of my impala where they laid my grandfather too. Down the river, where black folks settled after sunday service is through. Where the river runs to the ocean, I’ll be running back to you.”
The first time I heard this song it actually made me cry.

Thank goodness you identified this brother because they have playing this song for a minute but I could never catch the name of the artist.
