Incredible - for all choral lovers

"The notes for the CD are fascinating - rarely is it necessary to justify a group as "folk music" because the quality of their work would make most choirs jealous - but that is exactly what this album does.My favorite of the album is "David Was a Shepard Boy" - listen to the clip and you will see why - a tenor soloist and a bass weaving (rhythmic weaving more than tone weaving) thru a very tight choral line. "The Lord Is My Strength And Song" again uses fascinating rhythmic patterns between the voices.There is no weak track - I would not expect others to select the same favorites - but this is not an album of interest only as Gospel music or folk music ... it stands with the best of choral music independent of genre."

One of the best gospel CD's I have listened to.

"This CD embodies the old-time gospel. That A Capella sound with those great voices and high notes just makes your body quiver. This is truly one of the best gospel CD's I have ever been privileged to hear."

Gloriously, beautiful singing. Inspiring songs to listen to
