Here's a great song from my very special friend Dre Anders--I love the way she sings, and I'm glad she let me make my debut as a bass singer with her!
"One Kind Favor" is a song originally by Blind Lemon Jefferson (often called See That My Grave Is Kept Clean) with a rich history of iconic artists covering it, including BB King, Grateful Dead, Peter Paul and Mary, Widespread Panic, and now this group of friends including: Dre Anders (of Dre Anders and The Collective), Del McCoury, The Gibson Brothers (Eric Gibson and Leigh Gibson), members of The Travelin' McCourys (Ronnie McCoury, Rob McCoury, Alan Bartram, Cody Kilby, Jason Carter), Sierra Hull, Justin Moses, and Ethan Jodziewicz.

The world needs more music and less conflict these days especially.

[@michaelshore2609]

Justice done, to one of the greatest songs anyone's ever composed.

[@tracybullock9360]

Del mccoury is the epitome of great AMERICAN music period .My favorite bluegrass artist by far.

[@nickiemcnichols5397]

Mine too! Seen the McCourys live twice.

[@tracybullock9360]

This is timeless. Just watching Sjierra bouncing around while the others are playing says it all. Hope I get to see Del again a true national treasure. DEL YEAH!

[@poimendave9536]

I’m not a religious person but listening to this is a religious experience

[@randalldickson4603]

Amen! It definitely makes you feel something.

[@josephososkie3029]

Truth, Beauty, Goodness. Sometimes that’s all it takes.

[@joecastevens2059]

I thought I was down till I heard this. Blind 🍋

[@2fishes-q5h]

Sept,2024 Maybe just maybe the power to be, Sent this message to me... Aggy the algorithm though 4 yrs late did negotiate this vesper sound to my plate... God bless y'all

[@TheMargarita1948]

Bob Dylan included this on his first album, 1960 or 61. Very different rendition but worth a listen. 😂I recall wondering what kind of sound a coffin makes. I was, I guess, 12. He covers Roy Acuff, too. A very good first album. John Hammond was the producer, I think.

[@nathantennison2897]

Dre Andrews. Has A Very Soulful Voice.! Strong and Pointe

[@kelvingurr9477]

this isnt just good, its magical , harmonious beautiful , and dam powerful .... spectacular ,... or we could just say WOW

[@timothylewis2450]

Brilliant and moving version of Lemon’s classic. Stirring vocals and harmonies and impeccable musicianship. A master class in American traditional music. Usually known by the original title “See That My Grave Is Kept Clean” , it was first recorded by BLJ in 1927. Flawless performances.

[@rebelrandle]

Some of the best singers singers and musicians you will ever hear, not a bad player in the bunch. I am 83 and sick but sure would like to see Del-fest.

[@jimmyjames7174]

You are only one year older than me. We are old enough to know good music when we hear it and this is good music! Blind Lemon was soul before there was soul.

[@georgewhitfield6154]

That is a mournful song sung well.

[@ronwinston2669]

What a unique jam session! So many talented individuals in a room! The music is mesmerizing! First heard this song covered by BB King. Y’all nailed it!

[@dtruell]

What a joy it would be to play music with these people.

[@koosbleeker5880]

Amazing how muuch talented people there are playing making music. I wish that someday they come to The Netherlands. Love to you all.

[@timothyoverpeck2120]

Something this raw yet profound, words can’t explain how it affects me.

[@MikeL-n1e]

I first heard this song sung by Peter Paul and Mary. I always liked the song. Your group has given me a whole new appreciation for the song!

[@bluegrasscountryradio8806]

Each song is meaningful and it's soothing to the soul when you stressed especially this time of pandemic..God bless all the listeners 😍😊

[@wwmonroe]

"See that my grave is kept clean" indeed. So soulful.

[@brucekuehn4031]

Grave is kept clean

[@waltobringer2928]

Bellissimo il brano. Bravi tutti voi. Fantastico !!!

[@docmartin3344]

no hiding pure talent,,, the room is flooded with all the talent it can stand ,,, like a fine tuned racing engine. and was just thrown together as an idea.

[@DanPurdy1]

A beautiful old sad blues song. Here, I can see the cortege and hear the crunching of the gravel on the way to the graveyard.

[@jerrydenk8251]

Oh my goodness! You all are stepping into another dimension! Congratulations

[@roadrunner4404]

[@janeyounger8626]

Just beautiful..love this.🙏✋

[@coolerthanmoney4468]

You're all fantastic. I grew up on 60s/70s rock, heavy metal, and punk, so this is all new to me. Found you from youtube popping up a link to your cover of "For What it's Worth". Now I can't get enough.

[@judybevers5557]

You can hear the roots of all good American music sprouting from the bluegrass.

[@lynettekomidar]

There is a whole world of this stuff!!!! Try the master Doc Watson

[@mrjekruse]

@oegaziz43 I doubt that is the case - just a person only experiencing these and not Bluegrass. I have a friend and he and I both like and play Folk / Bluegrass. He can't see how I also like Jazz. I think we humans have room to enjoy all types of music.

[@susannemiller3516]

this was adapted and covered back in 1969 by Peter, Paul and Mary. The key, and guitars are very similar.

[@sgbsammy]

All these musicians are all great bluegrass players..check out bella flecks bluegrass album...cd..its fantastic..opens new horizons to you buddy..thx

[@richlyman2483]

Oh, how I missed seeing these guys at Merle Fest this year. So much talent.

[@carlnielsen3833]

Uuuuuuunbelieveable pool of talent in that room. Listening to them is to be transported to an aural haven.

[@zarakoda]

INCREDIBLE, gave me chills start to end
