5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant
I couldn't recommend a CD more highly. As a musician I was amazed at the variety of the music here and the truly exceptional performances. It's seems we can always rely on Albany to put out the most interesting and highest quality recordings.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not a substitute for the Anonymous Four
Hungry for more of the shape-note singing the Anonymous Four do so beautifully on their CD "American Angel," I purchased this CD. It pales in comparison but is till a good collection of early American hymns.

The best "Sacred Harp" or "Shape Note" type singing that I've heard. The various renditons are clear and harmonious.
None of that tuning up, barking, la-la's or other cacophonous sounds here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful music, January 29, 2010

This review is from: Shall We Gather - American Hymns and Spirituals (Audio CD)
For those who like this type of music, this is a wonderful CD. These are very professional singers, so it doesn't sound like a rural church choir or a gang at a "Shape Note Singing" convention. But it doesn't sound like the Mormon Tabernacle either. It is authentic, sensitive, and respectful of the tradition. And very beautiful.
