Performer: Simon Estes

Simon Estes. Spirituals: Ride on, King Jesus. Swing low, sweet chariot. Ezekiel saw the wheel. City called Heaven. Plenty good room. Let us break bread. Go down, Moses. No hiding place. Nobody knows the trouble I've seen. Every time I feel the Spirit. Steal away to Jesus. Witness. Sometimes I feel like a motherless child. Standin' in the need of prayer. He's got the whole world in His hands (Review by Vincent Alfano)

SIMON ESTES- STEAL AWAY—MY FAVORITE NEGRO SPIRITUALS: Steal away. Go down, Moses. Heav'n, Heav'n. Nobody knows the trouble I've seen. He's got the whole world in His hand. Weeping Mary. Little David, play on your harp. Deep river. Wade in the water. Balm in Gilead. Ev'ry time I feel the spirit. Sometimes I feel like a motherless child. Joshua fought the battle of Jericho. Stand still Jordan. Great day. Lord, I want to be a Christian. Roll, Jordan, roll. City called Heaven. Ride on, King Jesus (Review by James Camner)
