From the CD A City Called Heaven
(Light/Shu-Bel Records 2009)

Traditional meets contemporary on “Nobody” from Shirley Caesar’s new album, A City Called Heaven. Shirley and J Moss share their fierce convictions in an equally fierce, fiery duet.
The singers have at least two things in common: they made their first recordings as pre-teens, and they have a vast fan base. On “Nobody,” the familiar gospel song theme of “Jesus can make a way for you” is given an urban contemporary beat and peppered with examples torn from today’s news: domestic violence, household finances gone south, homelessness and critical illness.
