| Good Friday Blues: The Passion of Jesus Told in the Key of the Blues Good Friday Blues tells the story of the betrayal and death of Jesus, as written in the Gospel of John, framed by powerfully rendered blues and gospel music, laying musical images of slavery and Jim Crow against the familiar passion narrative. The Good Friday Blues will take you on a ride of love, devotion, friendship, betrayal, suffering and ultimate loss at the foot of the cross.
