Gavin Bryars with Tom Waits
“Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me
Yet”
Point Music
The story printed inside the CD
cover of“Jesus’ BloodNeverFailed
Me Yet” proves more interesting
than the 74 minutes of an old man
singing acappella, sometimes with
Tom Waits and sometimes backed
by high strings, low strings and
horn ensembles.
The original 1971 audio tape
recorded a loitering tramp singing
a religious hymn, “Jesus’ Blood
Never Failed Me Yet.” Intrigued
by the simplicity of the tramp’s
voice and song, Gavin Bryars, who
inherited the tape from a friend,
toyed with the idea of adding in
struments.
One afternoon while playing the
tape in his studio, he left to get a cup
of coffee. When Bryars returned,
he found the lively atmosphere of
the room transformed.
“People were moving about
much more slowly than usual, and
a few were sitting alone, quietly
weeping. I was puzzled until I real
ized that the tape was still playing
and that they had been overcome
by the old man’s unaccompanied
the emotional power of the music.
True. The strange and sedating
music could be marketed as a pow
erful relaxation tape.
The repetition of the four lines
seeps with a low tide of emotion
that creeps from your toes to your
brain until your body is totally im
mersed in the rich quivering strains
of the tramp’s voice.
The opening track, “Tramp with
Orchestra 1 (string quartet) ’ will
tempt you to fiddle with the vol
ume dials on your stereo as the old
man’s voice fades in.
Each track melts into the next
and is only a hair different from the
first. Track two is “Tramp with
Orchestra II (low strings),” “T ramp
with Orchestra III (no strings),”
“Tramp and Tom Waits with Full
Orchestra....” Get the picture?
Fans of Tom Waits who buy the
tape strictly for the Waits appeal
may be disappointed—he accom
panies the Tramp for only a few
minutes.
Quite honestly, the full-bodied
gruffness of Waits’ harmony dis
tracts from the the compfelling in
nocence of the old man’s vocals, an
innocence almost lost in the tech
nology of dubbing.

Cypress Hill
Insane in the Brain
Ruffhouse/Cohimbia
“I wrote shit for the blunted ones
to approach it,” raps B-Real on **I
Wanna Get High,” the first track on
the new Cypress Hill joint, “Black
Sunday.” The song sets the mood
for the album, making the listener
feel as if he were in the middle of a
Cypress circle, passing the blunts

themselves.
Many remember the splash Cy

press made in the hip hop pool in
1991 when they dropped their self
titled debut album. After four sin
gles, it went platinum and expressed
to millions of people the group’s
stance on marijuana use.
“Legalize It,” another new pro
hemp track, sums up the Cypress
vibe, while bringing the issues to
another group of listeners.
After the first album, Cypress
became the first hip hop spokes
men for the National Organization
for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
The band members’ openness about
their marijuana use has brought
about increased references by fel
low rappers such as Redman and
Dr. Die, who aren’t afraid to rap
about their favorite recreational
drug.
Cypress even sampled bits from
a hemp rally for the beginning of
“Hits from the Bong."tvk ^r<:
