Editorial Reviews
InMusic Editor's Choice, December 15, 1991
...all the beauty of traditional music and all the excitement of modern instrumentation, arrangement, and performance.
Product Description
The Shakers danced and sang to melodies they received as gifts from the spirit world. Like their high-prized crafts, their music was the outward expression of their faith, celebrating their ideals of simplicity and love. This is Gourd's all-time best-sell. Gourd Music.2004

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great arrangements - excellent guitar and strings,
By A Customer
This review is from: Simple Gifts (Audio CD)
Like the Shakers, sometimes somber, sometimes "kick-up-the-heels" dancing, this album has a wide range of mood and tempo. If you like guitar and strings, as well as spatterings of dulcimer and other "Celtic" instruments, you'll like this collection. I found the contrast of the tracks refreshing, a reminder of the way life is. Unlike the Shakers, I hope these guys have many more "children". I'm going to try some of their other albums.

Truly a classroom favorite!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Simple Gifts (Audio CD)
I use this album in my classroom when I study Shakerism with my students. They love the soothing, melodic hymns of the Shakers, and even request it long after we have finished with the unit!

This review is from: Simple Gifts (Audio CD)
I first bought this on cassette over ten years ago and was thrilled to find it on CD recently, since I no longer own a tape player. It is such a soothing, joyful album. The companion CDs are great, too, but this one remains one of my favorites.
