Produced by Justin Vernon (Bon Iver, Kathleen Edwards), I’ll Find A Way is a unique collaboration between one of popular music’s longest-running acts and one of its fastest-rising stars.  For this album, their ninth studio recording of the twenty-first century, the Blind Boys of Alabama - which includes Jimmy Carter, Eric “Ricky” McKinnie, Joey Williams, Tracy Pierce, Ben Moore, and newest addition Paul Beasley - decamped to the wintry wild of rural Wisconsin to record at Justin Vernon’s April Base studio. Known primarily for his work in the indie and folk realms, the Bon Iver frontman proved a perfect fit to work with the Blind Boys, exhibiting a deep knowledge and appreciation of gospel music.

I'll Find a Way features some of the Blind Boys’ most fervent vocals as well as contributions by a new generation of Blind Boys fans -  Sam Amidon, Shara Worden of My Brightest Diamond, Merrill Garbus of tUnE-yArDs, Casey Dienel of White Hinterland, Patty Griffin, and Justin Vernon himself. The result is a rousing collection of gospel songs, new and old, that address life’s most desperate hours but also savor the triumphs and reassurances of faith.

“It’s not just singing,” explains the 82-year-old Carter. “We’re bringing the message to the people, and that message is the good news of God. We sing from the heart, and what comes from the heart reaches the heart. If you have any feeling in you, you will feel the Blind Boys.”
