The fog’s in and there are heavier lamentations at Chez Lefort.  This morning when we watched jazz violinist Regina Carter and her fine band perform the gospel hymn I’m Coming Home on WNYC we were taken home.  To a better place.  Carter’s new album, Southern Comfort, is part exploration of her Alabama family history and part Appalachian hegemony.  She chose the album’s songs from the seminal field recordings by John Wesley Work III and Alan Lomax.  One of those songs is the great gospel hymn I’m Going Home, which you can watch/listen-to below courtesy of WNYC.  You can listen to the whole WNYC session HERE.
