Hard Times

from The Flatpicking Pilgrim's Progress · host Gary Allison Furr

"Son House was a Baptist preacher that lost his way. Fact is, I've been doing these sermons, I've been very disturbed at how many Baptist preachers turned into blues people. Or they were children of Baptist preachers who went bad. I don't know what to make of all of that. But hard times are that place where we have the temptation to fall into despair of life—to give up on life—instead of finding genuine trust."From a 2009 series, "Feeling the Blues."
