What better day than Thanksgiving to review a song called “Blessings!”
Here, John P. Kee hangs with the loping ostinato riff while Rance Allen all but steals the show. Kee is thinking about, and patiently waiting for, his blessing. Allen is a little less patient, exclaiming in his raw, soulful tenor that sounds wrenched from the earth’s core, “Sure as I’m born to die/I’m gonna get a blessing today.”
Blessings on them both, Lord!
