Reverend Edward W. Clayborn, born on March 10, 1880 in Richmond, Alabama, was an American singer known for his unique blend of blues and gospel music. His music often featured him singing with his guitar, frequently using a slide and tuning to "Spanish" or Open G tuning. He recorded 40 songs for Vocalion Records between 1926 and 1930, including notable tracks such as "Your Enemies Cannot Harm You" (1927) and "O Lord I'm in Your Care" (1927). He became a minister at St. Luke's Baptist Church in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Clayborn passed away in January 1978 in Pittsburgh. His work was notably compiled in Complete Recorded Works 1926 - 1928 in Chronological Order (1993) and I Have a Home in the Sky (2015).
