Far Off Sounds Ep 1 - Songs Of The Snake Handlers

In Middlesboro, Kentucky, the Full Gospel Tabernacle has a dangerous method for showing their faith in God. They raise and handle deadly snakes with their bare hands. We travelled to Middlesboro to meet Pastor Jaime Coots and his congregation, and to hear the music they play in waves of rockabilly, rock-and-roll, blues and gospel. This incredible music forms the soundtrack to their lives and faith. We were honored to be invited to watch and listen.
