Daryl Hall has been a fan of Blind Boys Of Alabama since he was a kid. They formed in 1939 and founding member Jimmy Carter is still in the band. “This was a very special show for me, as I have been a fan of The Blind Boys of Alabama since I was about 14 years old,” enthused Daryl about their appearance. “I used to listen to them and groups like them after church on WDAS radio in Philly.”

The special Christmas edition of Live From Daryl’s House features “Born in Bethlehem,” “Can You Give Me a Drink,” “Go Tell It on the Mountain,” “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear,” “Last Month of the Year” and “Take the High Road.”

“They were a big influence on how I approach harmony,” he says. “I can’t believe I got to sing bass with them! They represent my REAL roots!”

Live From Daryl’s House featuring Blind Boys Of Alabama will go live at livefromdarylshouse.com today (December 15).
