On September 17th Tift opened for Dwight Yoakam in Phoenix.  I had never heard of her before.  She was amazing.  My friends and I have now bought her cds and listen to her all day.

During the show, she sang a song and her only accompanyment was a tambourine.  I don't remember the words of the song exactly but it was something like "God help the working man" or something like that.  The song is not on any of her recordings.  I would really love to have the words to that song.  Do any of you know what song I'm talking about? 

Thanks.

Thanks so much for responding!  The song did have a gospel feel to it.  Since it was our first time ever hearing or seeing Tift, we got so lost in all of her music and now we are deperately searching for that song.  (My friends and I work for a legal aid program and the song really resonated with us.)

Anyway, I hope she puts it on the new album, too.  Any ideas when that might be out?

Thanks again!
