*** This track will be available for a week ONLY— Friday morning 2/5/21 (Bandcamp Friday) til late night Friday 2/12/21. After that, it will come down until later this year when our physical release happens. If you buy the track this week, please make sure to download it, because next week after 2/12 it will disappear from your collection on Bandcamp.***

"Our rendition of the spiritual, "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child" is an elegy for the children at the Mexican-United States border. Could you see yourself, at a border crossing, anywhere in the world, where the authorities take your child from you and send you away not caring when, or if, you will see your child again? This is our lament, this is our song.

Love to all,
Malcolm Mooney 2021"

Thanks to: Liz Allbee, Gabby Fluke-Mogul, Leyya Tawil, Jon Leidecker, and Ernie Indradat

The download includes high quality front and back cover art by Patricia Deausy.
