[dcab-l] Gospel Folk Song: Old Time Religion

Music Lovers & Songwriters:

 

(Give Me That) "Old-Time Religion" is a traditional Gospel song, maybe going back to

English folk origins.  This live cut is from a Rattlesnake Hill gig at Cactus Flats.

 

Charles Davis Tillman heard it sung by African-Americans at a camp meeting in

Lexington, South Carolina in 1889; it has become a standard in many Protestant

hymnals.  I learned it as a boy at the Pine Forge Chapel, in Pine Forge, Pa.  Rattlesnake

Hill itself is seen directly in back of the chapel as it begins climbing to the heavens.

Musicians:

   Tom Grey                Bass

   Lou Janesko            Fiddle

   Keith Arneson          Banjo

   Ed Schaeffer            Guitar & Vocal
