Bluegrass Stalwart Tim O'Brien's "When You Pray (Move Your Feet)" Marries Faith and Good Works
Bluegrass stalwart Tim O'Brien's brand new song "When You Pray (Move Your Feet)" is a powerful reminder that faith does not exclude good works. When we profess faith in God, that faith should compell us to love others too. O'Brien's powerful song is taken from his newly released album He Walked On, which debut at #6 on Billboard's Bluegrass Album chart this week. The new record features eight new originals and five covers,
"When You Pray (Move Your Feet)" takes its title from the African proverb that was a favorite of the late Civil Rights hero Congressman John Lewis. "Can You See Me, Sister?" explores, through an imagined encounter between two of Thomas Jefferson's children with the enslaved woman Sally Hemings.
When you pray move your feet
Bring his love to the people you meet
Get out your chair, walk the street
When you pray move your feet
Feels like lightning in your hand, when you reach out to help your fellow man
Stronger and stronger the more you do, Each and every time you follow through
Tim O'Brien grew up singing in church and in school, and after seeing Doc Watson on TV, became a lifelong devotee of old time and bluegrass music. Tim first toured nationally with Colorado bluegrass band Hot Rize, which formed in 1978. Kathy Mattea scored a country hit with his song "Walk The Way The Wind Blows" in 1986, and soon more artists like Nickel Creek and Garth Brooks covered his songs. Over the years, Tim has collaborated with his sister Mollie O'Brien, songwriter Darrell Scott, and noted old time musician Dirk Powell, as well as with Steve Earle, Bill Frisell, Mark Knopfler, Steve Martin, and Sturgill Simpson.
