«Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet» is the album by Gavin Bryars with Tom Waits, released in 1993 by Philips, on CD.
The album is based on a recording of an anonymous vagrant singing the hymn that gives the work its title. That fragment repeats in a loop, gradually enriched with orchestral arrangements, and eventually incorporates Tom Waits's deep, distinctive voice. It is a minimalist, serene and emotive piece that conveys hope and perseverance in the face of adversity.
The CD, 75 minutes long, includes a single piece featuring the Hampton Quartet and orchestral arrangements. It falls within contemporary classical music and minimalism.
A proposal for lovers of contemporary classical music, minimalism and unusual collaborations between artists from different worlds.
