Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

 Just buy it!
Submitted on: 2009-08-06 |
|
| Just buy it! Great voices; great arrangements; nice clean sound. I'm not particularly a big fan of gospel or spiritual music; however, I appreciate GREAT music of any kind. This is a fine example of just that! |

Great emotions
Submitted on: 2009-03-14 |
|
| Although I'm an atheist, the Staple singers represent for me the expression of the greatest joy gospel can produce. This particular album is a peak, where music and voice of men and women definitly belong to beauty, which is to me the one and only meaning of a so called god. So I still believe in music, good times and emotions, and such artists help a lot to live in such a mediocre and low lifeprice world. |

Essential Folk that shows the roots of their later Funk
Submitted on: 2008-06-02 |
|
A number of these songs (#2,7,8,12,15,16,17 eventually,19,20,24,26) lean into the Funky Blues; an indication of the hard funk they would come to explore in the 70s. The rest are solid Folk arrangements, that intriguingly, could easily have been picked up by Elvis Presley for one of his Gospel albums. A young Mavis hits THAT note on "Old Time Religion," "I Know I've Been Changed" and "My Dying Bed"! While "Masters Of War" is one of Pops most impassioned vocal performances. Clocking in a few seconds shy of 79 minutes, this is essential Staples Singers, especially for those into their folk roots.

 Best Tracks are a must-have for any gospel collection
Submitted on: 2007-12-02 |
|
| This is an outstanding CD. Although not every track is a gem, the best tracks are absolute classics. Highhlights include "New Born Soul", "I Know I've Been Changed", "Motherless Children", "Old Time Religion." This is actually a combination of two long out of print albums. Mavis Staples sings beautifully throughout, and when the songs and arrangements are good she shines even brighter. Heartfelt gospel harmonies, guitar accompaniment by Papa Staples, tasteful accompaniment by bass and drums on some tracks. This CD has long stood the test of time in my collection. |

Staple Singers -- a treasure
Submitted on: 2007-02-10 |
|
| This album is the very best of the very best of the marvelous Staple Singers. Virtually every cut is jewel-like. They do Dylan's "Masters of War" better than he does. Much as I love how the Staple Singers do Dylan, this album is about gospel and it is a brilliant showcase. Listen especially to "A Dying Man's Plea" and the superb rendition of "Swing Down, Chariot." This is an album to be savored again and again over the years. |
