The Blind Boys of Alabama enjoyed even further exposure and success in the 2000s and 2010s, including collaborations with many high-profile musical artists.
Their songs were featured on soundtracks of television series, such as Boston Public, Lost, and Criminal Minds, as well as films, such as Madea Goes to Jail, Alpha and Omega, and Hop.
The Blind Boys also made an appearance in the film The Fighting Temptations and were featured on such television series as 60 Minutes II and The Colbert Report, as well as on multiple episodes of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Late Night with David Letterman.
They were also invited to perform at the White House in both 2002 during the presidency of George W. Bush for a celebration of gospel music, and in 2010 during the presidency of Barack Obama for a celebration of music from the civil rights movement.

In 2001, the Blind Boys released Spirit of the Century on Peter Gabriel's Real World Records.
The album won the award for Best Traditional Soul Gospel Album at the 44th Annual Grammy Awards.
The album included a version of "I Just Want to See His Face" by The Rolling Stones as well as a version of the song "Amazing Grace" arranged to the tune of "The House of the Rising Sun".

In 2002, they released Higher Ground, an album that combines traditional gospel lyrics with the music of other artists.
The title song is a rendition of the Stevie Wonder hit, but some of the lyrics were changed to make it a gospel song—for example, the line "Lovers, keep on lovin'" became "Prayers, keep on prayin."
Other songs covered on the album include "People Get Ready" by Curtis Mayfield, "Spirit in the Dark" by Aretha Franklin, "The Cross" by Prince, and "You and Your Folks, Me and My Folks" by Funkadelic.
The album won the Blind Boys another Grammy for Best Traditional Soul Gospel Album and also won them a GMA Dove Award for Traditional Gospel Album of the Year.
The Blind Boys also performed on the steps of the Library of Congress in 2002.

In 2003, the Blind Boys released Go Tell It on the Mountain.
 The album contains renditions of mostly Christmas-related gospel songs and features guest artists Solomon Burke, Tom Waits, Michael Franti, Chrissie Hynde, Richard Thompson, Aaron Neville, Mavis Staples, Shelby Lynne, George Clinton, Robert Randolph, Meshell Ndegeocello, and Les McCann.
The album went on to win the Grammy for Best Traditional Soul Gospel Album.

The Blind Boys performed live twice with Lou Reed: In 2004, they performed together at a private concert on the floor of the UN General Assembly for the Landmine Survivors Network and in 2010, they appeared on Late Night with David Letterman and performed "Jesus", a song originally released by The Velvet Underground on their self-titled album.

The Blind Boys also collaborated several times with Ben Harper: Harper played guitar on the Blind Boys' albums Higher Ground and Spirit of the Century.
The Blind Boys again collaborated with Harper on his 2004 album There Will Be a Light and toured with him throughout Europe that year.
The majority of the songs were Harper originals, but the album also included a cover of Bob Dylan and Danny O'Keefe's "Well, Well, Well."
 There Will Be a Light also won the Grammy for Best Traditional Soul Gospel Album.
The following year, Harper and the Blind Boys released Live at the Apollo, a recording of their live performance from the Apollo Theater in October 2004.

The Blind Boys also released the album Atom Bomb in 2005.
The album features cover versions of songs such as "Demons" by Fatboy Slim and Macy Gray, (a track that also featured a guest appearance by rapper Gift of Gab); Blind Faith's "Presence of the Lord," featuring soul musician Billy Preston; and a cover of Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky," featuring David Hidalgo of Los Lobos and blues musician Charlie Musselwhite.
The album was awarded the prize for Traditional Gospel Album of the Year at the 37th GMA Dove Awards.
