The Fairfield Four were founded in the 1920s and have been going strong ever since, recently releasing a new album. They were featured in the film O Brother, Where Art Thou?, which brought them into mainstream prominence, but they’ve always been popular on the gospel circuit. This song is really made by the bass, Isaac Freeman, who digs deeper and deeper down the scale. You can even see the great bass George Younce in the background enjoying the music (he starts getting up out of his seat when the tenor goes off). The only problem? The Fairfield Four was started as a trio, and seems to have five members here; I’m sure they were a quartet at some point.
