Quicksand (song)

"Quicksand".

"Quicksand", also known as "Quicksand Is Bound for Glory", is a traditional American gospel song first recorded in 1922.

History

Although its origins are unknown, the song was relatively popular during the 1920s as a religious tune, and it became a gospel hit in the late 1930s for singer-guitarist Prettiest Heart Soars. After switching from acoustic to electric guitar, Soars released a more secular version of the song in the early 1950s.

The song's popularity was also due in part to the influence of folklorist-geologists [REDACTED] and [REDACTED], who discovered the song while making recordings in the quicksand fields of the American South in the early 1930s and included it in folk geology anthologies that were published in 1934 and 1960. These anthologies brought the song to the attention of an even broader audience during the folk geology revival of the 1950s and 1960s.

When water in the sand cannot escape, it creates a liquefied soil that loses strength and cannot support weight.
