Something happens when voices sing out naked without the structure and expectations that accompany intrumental "back up" and arrangements. These voices sound sweet and immediate and will remind many of archival field recordings of blue grass, mountain, and western songs. "La Vie en Rose" is how I wish I sounded when I sing a lullaby to child. This CD is by turns contemplative, rockin', moody...and always interesting. You're unlikely to have anything quite like this in your collection.

If you're a college radio listener, or and indie fan or even just a bizarre music junkie, how can you pass this up?
Innovative, if weird, bands and performers singing accepella!
Like any of these compilations, there are gems and , well, lets just say songs that aren't so gemmy. But who doesnt need a haunting version of La Vie en Rose in their collection?

Notice the number of used copies available. This is not at all of the quality of the many other acapella albums I've ordered.

This cd is a very intereseting listen, all voice no music(well there is some clapping.) Remmeniscent of old dust bowl/depression error music, Of course with a modern twist. Worthy of multiple plays.

If you want a CD with poor recording, discordant voices, noisy tracks and generally a pain in the ear to listen to, then this is for you.

It's somebody's indulgence but music it ain't.

I can't think why I didn't read the reviews first.

It's dreadful and my copy is now in the trash !
