Down to the River to Pray - The Petersens (LIVE)

Emmett and Katie came up with such a beautiful arrangement of "Down to the River to Pray," a traditional gospel song that Alison Krauss famously recorded for the 2000 movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?". The fun interlude at 1:45 was Katie&idea. We try to match our songs to locations and it can take a little while for the song, venue, and lead singer to all come together at the same time! Sometimes we also have to wait for the leaves to return to the Ozarks, the heavy rains to stop, or Julianne to come back from college. ►More of the trio: ►Photo album: ----------------------- ►Useful links: ►Social media: Go behind the scenes with @PetersenVlogs ►This video: Vocals: @katiepetersen Vocals: @EllenHaygood Vocals: @JuliannePetersen Dobro: Emmett Franz Bass: Karen Petersen Guitar: @mattpetersen4000 Key moments: 0:01 dobro 0:06 Katie 0:40 Ellen 0:55 rhythm guitar 1:14 Julianne 1:29 sisters 1:35 mother on bass 3:11 outro The Finley River is such a key part of the water mill&history and its new life as a dining destination.
