A "Yay, Heaven!" song with a difference: none of the obnoxious and entirely-unwarranted triumphalism that you hear in so many of these things.

Caleb Klauder -- he's the mandolin picker -- wrote this one, and it has a quality that gospel is sadly lacking these days: it is an absolute blast. The Cajun feel that comes from Sammy Lind's fiddle, and is underscored by Nadine Landry's rollicking bass line, has a lot to do with that.

It seems that Foghorn Stringband think so, too; they look and sound as though they're having the time of their lives.

Here they are with "Innocent Road".
