Something a little bit different today, some musical recommendations. . .

I went to a christening last Sunday where the priest played this song after Holy Communion. I asked him afterwards who the artist was, the song and the album. He said the artist was Robert Plant, the song was Satan, Your Kingdome Must Come Down, but he didn’t know the album title, it was the one with the jester on the cover.
"Satan, Your Kingdom must Come Down" is a traditional spiritual song.
A recording of the song by Robert Plant (from the above 2010 album Band of Joy) was used as the theme song for the TV series Boss.
Here is a link to Robert Plant performing the song:
By the way:
Band of Joy (sometimes known as Robert Plant and the Band of Joy) were an English rock band formed in 1966. Various line-ups of the group performed from 1966 to 1968 and from 1977 to 1983. Frontman Robert Plant revived the band's name in 2010 for a concert tour of North America and Europe.
The band is notable for including two musicians, Robert Plant and John Bonham, who went on to join Led Zeppelin, as well as Dave Pegg, who would become a member of both Fairport Convention and Jethro Tull.

I came across the Gat Brothers on Youtube and they are not only great, but also an enigma: 2 rocking rabbis.
From the Algemeiner site:
What was initially perceived by many Israeli television viewers as a gimmick has turned into a phenomenon. A pair of devout, soft-spoken chasidic brothers in skullcaps and sidecurls are breaking down stereotypes and have emerged, according to a Times of Israel report, as the most unlikely of media darlings — reality rock stars.Two days before their appearance in the championship round of the hit Israeli reality talent show ‘Rising Star’, Arie and Gil Gat have grown from a local obsession into international sensations. Increasingly known around the world as the ‘singing rabbis’, the brothers look, dress and act the part of the classic religious Jew – yet pound out an intoxicating rock & roll beat that can’t be denied.The Gat brothers found their way to a more strictly religious lifestyle a decade ago yet never gave up their love of music, according to a profile piece published by Israel’s Channel 2 website. Before deciding to audition for ‘Rising Star’, Arie and Gil sought out and received Halachic (Jewish legal) approval to appear on a prime time television program whose target audience is largely secular Israelis.
Here are some video links to them busking on the streets of Jerusalem:
