Society & Culture
This week on Three Tune Tuesday, we step gently into the long, slow resistance of endurance. Against a backdrop of political erosion and cultural fatigue, we turn to three early 20th-century recordings that whisper instead of roar — songs that offer spiritual grounding, forward momentum, and the healing power of shared memory. From a parlor hymn of self-realignment to a Highland traveler's ballad, and finally to a balm born of Black spiritual resilience, this episode is for anyone who’s felt like giving up… and decided to sing instead. Featuring Olive Kline & Elsie Baker’s 1922 duet of “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing”, Robert Murray’s 1924 journey along “The Road to the Isles” (Aco Records), and the 1914 recording of “There Is a Balm in Gilead” by the Fisk Jubilee Quartet.
