Editorial Reviews

Rolling Stone, February 8, 2007, David Fricke

To quote Leonard Cohen, 'God is alive, magic is afoot' in the soaring magnificence of Southern sacred-harp choirs, a robust, harmonically intricate blend of country joy and unearthly drone. It is living worship, too.

Most anything, even a tune called "Save, Lord, or We Parish," sounds more awesome when hollered by a room full of people. Indie rock's glee club (hello Sufjan) could learn a lot from this.

Maybe the very best thing about shape-note singing is the croaky, full-body hollers the form demands; because the end result is one voice, shape-note singers don't worry so much about tone and pitch, bellowing and shouting with big, unabashed confidence. I Belong to This Band coughs up some appropriately stellar performances...

Product Description

I Belong to This Band is a companion to the documentary film, Awake, My Soul: The Story of the Sacred Harp. The CD contains 30 recordings which weave three important strands of Sacred Harp's recorded history. The first strand is made up of the earliest recordings of the genre which were pressed on 78s in the 1920s, '30s and '40s. Second, there are home recordings made by small groups of singers in the 1950s. Third, there are recordings of contemporary all day singings which are the native environment for this music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Many great Sacred Harp songs, December 25, 2010
This review is from: I Belong to This Band: Eighty-Five Years of Sacred Harp Recordings (Audio CD)
I just received this CD for Christmas. Being a fan of Sacred Harp/ Shape-Note of course I am thrilled. There are a few songs on here that don't hold to the strict rule of no music accompaniment but I like them just the same. Love the "rawness" of some of the "older" recordings (including the sound of what sounds like an old record being played). Want to sing some of these the next time I go to a singing!! Very pleased with this CD.
