Two Voices, Lifted

This is the month for it. The song is "Lift Every Voice and Sing" (also known as the "The Negro National Anthem", for the uninitiated). The song is challenging to pull-off for a lot of reasons, not least of which is the emotional import of the lyrics. So, you'll find versions that are too earnest or too detached and self-important, too conservative in style or too messed-with. The traps and their victims are obvious. But I've found a couple of fresh versions to enjoy.
