5.0 out of 5 stars A Great, Rare Compilation, June 30, 2000

By	Smart Talent (Tennessee) - See all my reviews

I really enjoy listening to this album. The vocal arrangements are top notch. The addition of African drums and electric bass to "Wade in the Water" and "Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel" is inspiring. The contemporary gospel sounds of "You May Run On" and "Rocka My Soul" end the album on an energetic, positive note. Where this album really shines is in its honest and brilliant acapella arrangements. The only bad points are 1)that the fun ends to soon, and 2) the excrutiatingly long (but informative) interview with Judith Jamison at the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent interpretation of African American genre, November 5, 1999

By	E.A. Reff (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

I was very pleased and excited about this work. After seeing the dance company perform "Revelations", I found it powerful and cathardic. The music is now apart of my collection and I shall include it in the art of pedadogy. This work is very important to understanding the history of the African American progression in America with Negro Spirituals being parallel. Not enough can be said about this work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing music, amazing dance., March 29, 2007

By	S. Stephens "The Booker" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ok. so they're spirituals. It's religious music. But I garauntee you'll be moving to the beat before you get "Wash My Soul". When you get to that song, you can't help but be up and moving. Compiled by the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theare for their ballet "Revelations", this combines the best presentations of the music. And if you think the music is great, go see Alvin Ailey.

5.0 out of 5 stars Otherworldly and electrifying
This CD is one of the most ecstatic experiences I've ever had with a work of art. Billy Porter in particular is magnificent.
