Could the origins of Gospel Music be Scottish? Willie Ruff, Professor of Music at Yale University, believes so. His visits to the Free Church communities of the Outer Hebrides have convinced him his musical roots are more Afro Gaelic than Afro American. Dr. Robert Beckford presents this utterly fascinating documentary made by Eyeline Media (Aberdeen) and accompanies a Free Church choir to rural Alabama.
