As was noted on the earlier posting of this clip, Ms. Rice is a pro-abort adherent and is a RINO. While the cause is admirable, she is less so.

This recording is entirely instrumental. No vocal, and no talking. Ms. Rice and Ms. Baker, unlike many other performers, have the good manners to "Shut Up And Play".

They play beautifully, and their rendition of this spiritual composition is quite moving. And as you noted, their cause here is admirable.

Their respective social and political beliefs need not enter into one's enjoyment of their talents, or of the music they create.
