“No Not One”
Eddie Ruth Bradford
From the CD Jesus is Coming Back (2011)

Leave it to Mississippi’s Eddie Ruth Bradford to get the New Year started with a dose of spicy, bluesy traditional gospel.
Bradford delivers “No Not One,” a variation on “There’s Not a Friend Like the Lowly Jesus,” in a low, brooding voice that increases in energy, always threatens to explode into shouting, but remains controlled and on point. Halfway in, the background vocalists chime their assent to Bradford’s message. It’s what the Roberta Martin Singers might have sounded like had they been organized in the Delta.
