I bought this album as a gift for my wife after hearing the Kings singers in concert. Since they performed many of the pieces included, it was particularly appreciated. The sound is excellent, and the king's singers are a very pleasant and relaxing listen.

An eclectic grouping of songs performed to perfection! I am very much into musical harmonies, couple that with the incredible vocal ranges of the King Singers and you have Heaven on Earth. Need not say more...

It's not so simple to produce the close harmony and perfected diction for which the King's Singers are known. But they do it in every track on "Simple Gifts." One piece that amused me was the British accent on a Negro spiritual, "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." The diversity of the selections provides great entertainment. What a gift!
