Another well-known early work of Bryars is Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet (1971), which has as its basis a recorded loop of an old homeless man singing a musical fragment that the man had improvised.[5] On top of that loop, rich harmonies played by a live ensemble are built, increasing in density, before the whole thing gradually fades out. A recording of this work was made in 1993 with Tom Waits singing along with the original recording of the homeless man during the final section.
