“One Day I Will” by Nathan Salsburg

listening is free and always encouraged.  This track is not readily available for sale.

Just ran across the music of Nathan Salsburg and he is a crackerjack guitarist.  I know only a bit about him.  He is from Kentucky and works as a Lomax musicologist, archivist, and folklorist at the Smithsonian. Today’s song is a far cry from an instrumental, it’s an old fashioned gospel number.

Nathan had one track on the tribute album called “Face A Frowning World- An E.C. Ball Memorial,”  the E.C. Ball original tune “One Day I Will.”  It’s a beautiful gospel song, with simple instrumentation.  A plaintive lamenting prayer is currently in the first spot on my Ipod.  Eli Hall plays a fine pedal steel on the track.  Neither ITunes nor Amazon.com have the record available, so if you want to buy the song or the album, you’re gonna have to look around the internet to find it.

Here’s to the good stuff, and this qualifies.  Today’s Song of the Day at HarryShots.com is “One Day I Will” by Nathan Salsburg.  HL
