Editorial Reviews

Fellowship continues Lizz Wright's celebrated collaboration with acclaimed singer-songwriter Toshi Reagon, who co-produced the new album and wrote/performed on a number of tracks on Wright's previous release. The record features several traditional songs that Wright grew up with in church including "Amazing Grace," "Sweeping Through the City," and a gospel medley featuring "I've Got a Feeling" and "Power Lord." Wright also covers a number of songs by noted writers including "Presence of the Lord" by Eric Clapton and "In From the Storm" by Jimi Hendrix. Bernice Johnson Reagon performs on two tracks, including "I Remember, I Believe" which she composed. Lizz Wright, whom The Wall Street Journal calls "a thoughtful, sensitive soul," has received critical praise from Time Magazine, NPR, Ebony, Essence, New Yorker and Billboard, and her music is featured in several major television shows. Wright was born in the small town of Hahira, Georgia, to a local minister. She grew up traveling through the South singing with her parents and siblings. She first came to national attention in 2002 when she performed in a series of Billie Holiday tribute shows. Since then, she's released Salt (2003), Dreaming Wide Awake (2005) and The Orchard (2008), all three critical and fan favorites.

And the instrumentation truly enhances and elevates the beauty found here. BeadMoonStardust  |  5 reviewers made a similar statement
One gospel song on an album that isn't gospel is enough, to my taste and I like gospel music. Helynn R. Coles  |  3 reviewers made a similar statement
And so she's taken me from being curious to a fan to now, where I anxiously await anything she does. Phoebus Franca  |  1 reviewer made a similar statement

Her new CD just arrived today, and I must say it is quite good. I give it a solid B.

If you like gospel, you'll probably give the album a B+ because most of the songs on it are spirituals. I particularly enjoyed the gospel medley.

The rest of the album is an eclectic mix of originals, folksy soul, and even a couple of rock covers. Many of the tracks have nice guest vocal touches. There is no traditional jazz song on the album. This is ok, because I don't believe it would fit well into the theme of the CD.

As good as she sounds on the album, she sounds even better live. I saw her a few months ago and she completely blew me away. She has an incredible presence too. Make sure to see her live when she is performing near you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great November 21, 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Lizz Wright is making very powerful recordings - music that speaks from her heart. This one for me follows right on The Orchard's kind of revelatory expression from her. The album brings in a gospel influence, but it is a Lizz Wright album, not a gospel album. She is singing about who she is, what she knows and what inspires her. And so she's taken me from being curious to a fan to now, where I anxiously await anything she does.

Maybe time for a live album?

Fellowship also has wonderful contributions from other artists that the description names, and these enrich the listening all that much more. At first I thought the recording - the electronics ambience and general production - was a little too busy compared to her previous albums but I get it now. Sounds good.

5.0 out of 5 stars IN THE SPIRIT! QUINTESSENTIAL LIZZ WRIGHT ROOTS November 10, 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm currently listening to Fellowship for the second time in a row after just getting in the mail. I've truly enjoyed Ms. Wright's vocal talents and musical aesthetic since Salt, and in this new CD she invites us to share in the root-base of her beginnings [gospel and beyond], alongside some very personalized secular covers [by some of music's legends] and two tracks with Angelique Kidjo that are surprising and grand. There are also some surprise vocal partnerings with iconic musical beings. And the instrumentation truly enhances and elevates the beauty found here.

In summary, Fellowship feels like Ms. Wright is comfortable with the direction she's heading in life, her origins and her open celebration and love of music, spirit and sharing of it all. I feel 'gifted' and sincerely touched by this CD. While it is distinct for certain, there is no question that this is Lizz Wright, the vocal artist I've grown more appreciative of with each musical offering she graces us with. And that is what I feel listening to this compilation: Grace. Beautiful Grace, Sharing and Spirit. Amazing Grace brings me to near tears--in a powerful and beautiful way.

Enjoy this expansive gem. I will for years to come. It's that kind of music.

[note: the jacket both inside and out conveys the Spirit that infuses this CD...a lovely touch.]

Cheers,
Bead

I have all of Lizz's albums so of course had to get this one. Admittedly, I really didn't check the song selections ahead of time. She did a fine job, just not my cup of tea. Read more
