“Go Anyway” is an upbeat, foot-tapping Louisiana Delta blues testimony that follows a young Louisiana man who believes Jesus has called him to a foreign mission field. Told he is too young, untrained, and might embarrass those who send him, he sells his old four-wheel-drive Dodge, buys the one-way ticket he can afford, and goes anyway. From Louisiana bayous, crawfish, jambalaya and Creole gumbo to distant mountains, jungles, beans, rice and plantains, the song carries decades of missionary life through humor, hardship and faith—including a homemade cake from Mama that takes three months to arrive green and inedible. Beneath the laughter is a deeper story of parents who worried, a son who kept following, and a God who remained faithful. Driven by fingerpicked resonator guitar, banjo, harmonica and a stomping Southern blues groove, the story eventually reaches the present day. The missionary is older, but the call isn't finished. After a lifetime of learning how to give and make his own way, he is learning to receive and allow others to stand with him. Through every season, the testimony remains the same: different hands, same Hand; different seasons, same King. All the glory belongs to Jesus.
