Good Shepherd (song)
"Good Shepherd" is a traditional song, best known as recorded by Jefferson Airplane on their 1969 album ''Volunteers''. It was arranged and sung by the group's lead guitarist Jorma Kaukonen, who described their interpretation of it as psychedelic folk-rock. Called by nearly a dozen different names and with varying words, melodies and purpose but common themes, the song's history reflects many of the evolutionary changes and cross-currents of American music. It begins early in the 19th century with a backwoods preacher who wrote hymns, persists through that century, manifests itself in a 1930s gospel blues recording done in a prison by a blind inmate convicted of murder, and sees use in the 1950s as a folk song, before attaining its realization by Jefferson Airplane. Several of these different variants of the song are still performed in the 21st century. Hymn "Good Shepherd" originated in a very early 19th century hymn written by the Methodist minister Reverend John Adam Granad ...
