Let me preface this post with a disclaimer. I'm not a big fan of country music or its performers, though many are talented folk and deserve their success. And I don't know if you'd call the song "Wayfaring Stranger" a hymn or a folk song, I think maybe it is both.
However, I am a big fan of music videos on YouTube, and there is one I'd like to share with you. It is Trace Adkins performing at a retrospective honoring the late Johnny Cash, singing Wayfaring Stranger.
Sometimes people will say a particular performer was born to sing a particular song. This one has Trace Adkins' name on it. Give it a listen.
