In Their Words: “Just a Little More Faith” is a gospel song I first heard on the Mississippi Fred McDowell album Amazing Grace, sung with his wife Annie Mae. This record is all about harmony and voices rising together, and there was no better way to start it off than this tune inspired by the musician who first led me to learn slide guitar.” — Reed Turchi
