Since I come from the straight-up, buttoned-down Anglican tradition, singing spirituals is very very difficult for me.

Our Episcopal choirmaster used to essay a spiritual every now and then, then he'd throw down his baton and look at us all with total disgust and say, "You all sound so . . . white!"

"Well - DUUUHHHHH!" we would all chorus back.

Since I'm Scotch-Irish to the bone, singing the "Sacred Harp" spiritual songs comes much more naturally.
