“Hurt Before You Heal”Castro Coleman & Highly Favored
From the 4 Winds Records CD Time Out!!! (2009)

No cross, no crown. No pain, no gain.
Contemporary quartet Castro Coleman & Highly Favored added another boo-yah shout to the church lexicon: “Hurt Before You Heal.”
To a Muscle Shoals-style sweat-sticky soul sensibility and loping tempo, Coleman reassures those who, like him, have been “lied on, I’ve been talked about, overlooked, even mistreated.” He met “an old man who taught him a lesson: you’re going to have to hurt before you heal.”
Words to the wise and the woebegone.
