We all give God the blues...


From the album Mercyland: Hymns For The Rest Of Us, a collection of 12 songs curated by Phil Madeira by various artists. As well as this song in the style of the Blues there are contributions ranging from traditional, Country and Rottsy folk songs.


This Nashville Scene article explains more, a couple of sentences that challenge are:
a devotional album without all the religious and commercial hoopla
"I think the most visible expressions of Christian faith are very exclusive, and I think that has been a real struggle for me."

Head Full Of Doubt / Road Full Of Promise



Lots to love about this video which interprets the song in both an abstract and complimentary way without resorting to literal imagery whilst still using a mainly 'traditional' approach... Also see how the video was put together here by artist Jason Mitcham who discusses the project with one of the The Avett Brothers founder members Scott Avett.

If the video above is unavailable in your country, try this link.
