Amazing bits

"This is a lot of music. Not all it is amazing. For me, a lot of this traditional jubilee type A-Capella gospel can be repetitive or just kind of screechy. However, there are times, in this collection as well as with other vocal gospel groups, where something happens that makes you want to simultaneously laugh, cry, and just "bust wide open". You know it when you hear it, and when you do, you become willing to wade through a LOT to hear it again.



While some wading is necessary, there are plenty of those times here. Tracks like "Never let go my hand",

"He Never L:eft me Alone"

"Calvary"

"Atomic Telephone"

"Toll The Bell"



are themselves worth the price."
