Take Me Over The Tide

Another amazing track from the essential Real Bahamas cds. The Pindars were Joseph Spence's sister Edith's in-laws. Edith, Geneva and Raymond Pindar's voices couldn't be much more dissimilar, yet Edith's strong alto, Geneva's bird-like high soprano and Raymond's warbly bass (think a Carribean A.C. Carter) somehow work together beautifully.

Family singing - it always works.

• The Pindar Family - Take Me Over The Tide

When my work on Earth is ended and I cannot work no longer,
O, Lord Jesus, take me over the tide...
