Uncle John & bemuzic duet - Glory, Glory Hallelujah Since I Laid My Burden Down

This is an old American spiritual song and has been recorded by many people.
The earliest recording I've heard of is by The Elders McIntorsh and Edwards' Sanctified Singers in 1928, then there were many others, including Odetta, Mississippi John Hurt, Furry Lewis, Mississippi Fred McDowell...and finally Uncle John & bemuzic!!!
I would never have thought of singing this type of song, but had fun doing it : -)

Richard, thanks, and yeah I had to hat up to play with Uncle John!

Thorston, thanks...or how about a collaboration album, so it includes the instrumental stuff..there's probably been enough stuff done already on here to do an album!!

Russel, thanks, yeah you should have a go!

John, it was a pleasure to do!

To be honest, I put off watching this for an hour or two because I thought  I might be disappointed, No such Worries, turned out way better than I expected,well done Be for a top collaboration,you have done a great job stitchin this together, and John,you were wonderful all the way through,you seem to have a great empathy for this type of music,I'm even tempted to have a go at a gospel song myself,so beware, you may have started something here...

What a great idea. Your voices fit perfectly for this kind of music. This must lead to a new kind of cbg album after the blues album: the duet album!!!

Bemuzic!  Wow,  I had no idea how you did all those things to put this together.  Even more good and thanks you.

Yall are leading the way on collabortion videos and I'm certain this will take off and before you know it there will be lots of folks doing this on the nation. This is turn will make all involved much better musicians and also offer free entertainment to the ones such as myself that are not so musically talented.

thanks again all..smojo. How indeed, it was a bit tricky here and there!

 John sent me his video via dropbox as video files are HUGE!! I then took the sound off it, and put it into my music software and did my tracks to it while wearing headphones to hear John.

I then videoed my bit while having the sound blasting out round the house while I mimed along to it..don't think I did too badly. I shut my mouth a bit before I stop singing at the end, but apart from that I was pretty pleased. Better than lots of band on top of the pops anyway,lol! Then I put the two videos together, muted the vol on them and added the music track and voila!!

   There must be many ways (probably lots of better ways!) to get a similar result, but that's what I did!

Great job, folks.
