Advantages: Warms the cockles of your soul Disadvantages: You need a soul in the first place
As the winter months draw in it?s good to tuck oneself on bed with a flask, in a wood cabin, and authentic Deep South gospel blues to warm the cockles of the heart.
This year my musical and spiritual heat is being provided by the soulful hauntings of BenHarper and The BlindBoys of Alabama with There Will Be A Light.
