In the album, she adapts long-established, historically significant Black gospel songs, spirituals, and blues songs collected from the churches, jukeboxes, and record stores of her youth. Songs including \"I'm Gonna Tell God All My Troubles\" and \"How High's the Water\" reflect her active role in the ongoing struggle for Black liberation in mid-century America. Joining Ella are her accompanists Brother John Sellers, who learned to sing in churches and collaborated with Northern blues legends, and Joseph Brewer, who enjoyed a career participating in world-famous symphonies and operas, representing the changing makeup of traditionally exclusionary musical spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_transparent_blue_background_correct_version_80976754-e9e0-46de-b62f-ac42fe034a4c_480x480.png?v=1646155801\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 The Wilderness\u003cbr\u003e2 I'm Gonna Tell God All My Troubles\u003cbr\u003e3 Heaven\u003cbr\u003e4 When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder\u003cbr\u003e5 Tol' My Captain\u003cbr\u003e6 I'm Gonna Ride This Train\u003cbr\u003e7 Jimbo\u003cbr\u003e8 Another Man Done Gone\u003cbr\u003e9 Soft Pedal Blues\u003cbr\u003e10 Po' Man's Blues\u003cbr\u003e11 A Friendly Loan\u003cbr\u003e12 How High's the Water\u003cbr\u003e13 An Old Lady and Her Horse\u003cbr\u003e14 If You Ever Get Down\u003cbr\u003e15 Freedom's Coming Mighty Soon\u003cbr\u003e16 A Long Time\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SMITHSONIAN FOLKWAYS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48153094258938,"sku":null,"price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/4345178-3188378.jpg?v=1766521953","url":"https:\/\/classicselectworld.com\/products\/ella-jenkins-a-long-time-to-freedom-vinyl-lp","provider":"ClassicSelect World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
