Taylor Swift has shared a new ‘Folklore’ live album on streaming services, in line with her new Disney+ documentary. Yesterday, Swift announced ‘folklore: the long pond studio sessions’, a new documentary promising “an intimate concert of the record-breaking ‘Folklore’”. It came out on the streaming service at midnight last night (November 24). Now, she’s shared a live album of the same name, featuring recordings of every ‘Folklore’ song from Aaron Dessner‘s Long Pong studio in Hudson, New York.

“In the dark night, amongst the trees, between moonlit leaves, is this super-secret, lovely lo-fi, raw, intimate, analogue album made in a cabin deep in the woods…”

This concert release captures a 2008 show put on by The Blind Boys of Alabama at New Orleans' historic Tipitina's. With the help of celebrity guests such as Dr. John and Susan Tedeschi, the boys perform a number of songs including "Free at Last," "Amazing Grace," "Down By the Riverside," and "People Get Ready."
Although the Blind Boys of Alabama have been singing gospel music for more than five decades, it's only recently that the group has had the benefit of a major record company behind it.
