I Rose Up
Pickers, players & vocalists: John McEuen: banjo; Martha Redbone: lead vocal, shaker; Matt Cartsonis: 2nd lead vocal; John Cowan: 3rd lead vocal; David Bromberg: guitar; Andy Goessling: mandolin

With words from the British poet William Blake (1800’s), this tune was perfect to sing in the church. Martha and I wrote the music; she split the vocals with Matt and John Cowan - the outcome is incredible. Martha sang it right out of the park and with the stellar back-up singers, it felt like we were at a camp meeting two centuries ago.
