Debuted at his 2019 Tiny Desk appearance with Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires, “The Gospel of Mary” is a song that likens the journey of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus from Bethlehem to Egypt to that of modern-day refugees to the United States. We often think of biblical times as particularly brutal but here Josh refers to them as a “simpler time” where refugees were taken in rather than being separated and kept in cages. At the conclusion of his first performance of the song, Josh said, “We love you America, but you’ve gotta change.”

Henry Bright has newly returned to West Virginia from the battlefields of the First World War. Griefstruck by the death of his young wife and unsure of how to care for the infant son she left behind, Bright is soon confronted by the destruction of the only home he’s ever known. His hopes for safety rest with the angel who has followed him to Appalachia from the trenches of France and who now promises to protect him and his son. Haunted by the abiding nightmare of his experiences in the war and shadowed by his dead wife’s father, the Colonel, and his two brutal sons, Bright—along with his newborn—makes his way through a ravaged landscape toward an uncertain salvation.
