Swing Low, Sweet Chariot - a podcast by Rex Bridges

Timeless, authorless songs that are soulful and full of yearning is an apt description of the Negro spirituals that were born of slavery.  The Jubilee Singers of Fisk University, named for the biblical year of Jubilee when slaves were liberated as found in Leviticus 25, helped bring these spirituals to America and the world.  One of the favorites they brought out is this song, Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.
