“I Know What Prayer Can Do”

Donald Malloy

From the LP Finally Home (2012)
Even though it was recorded live in Cheraw, South Carolina, Donald Malloy gives this catchy, traditional-style call-and-response by Isaiah D. Thomas a dose of “New Orleans swing.” Thomas joins Malloy on lead vocals as the choir and congregation sing and clap along.

“I Know What Prayer Can Do” is what you’d get if you mixed the old-fashioned church sound of Dr. C.J. Johnson with the M.G.s.
