CD Reviews

Threatens, but fails to Explode
O. Kagan | North Hollywood, CA, U.S. | 11/17/2007
(2 out of 5 stars)

"I have a fondness for Gospel music thought I don't have much experience listening to it. Still, I listened to this CD on a whim and found it adequate, but mostly uninspiring. The songs seemed like (are?) gospel standards and the Blind Boys showcased them with there unquestionably beautiful voices. But out of the ten songs that comprised the CD, I only really found myself connecting to track 2 "Demons" and track 9 "Presence of the Lord". The rest of the tracks were nice, which is to say mediocre. I may check the Blind Boys of Alabama out again, in hopes that maybe their other CDs have a more interesting selection of songs."
Generally excellent.

"The Blind Boys get help from David Hidalgo (Los Lobos), Billy Preston, and Charlie Musselwhite on this release - not that they need it, but wow, what players. There is great, authentic stuff here. A particular standout is the atmospheric "Demons", a memorable production. (Yes, it includes guest rappers The Gift of Gab, but I'm 53 and I STILL like it, so......)



In a way, I wish I could give it 4.5 stars, because two cuts feel like filler. Still, it's easy to recommend."
