This fine debut recording explores a variety of African-American traditional music, from spirituals (high energy "Good News De Chariot's Comin'," "God's Gonna Set This World On Fire") to children's songs to prison work songs ("Down The Line") to African rhythms ("Gankogui/Welcome"). Tillery had an epiphany in 1991 which led her from a successful pop career to pursuing roots music. The talented women's ensemble she assembled sings (and plays drums) beautifully across this spectrum of music. In comparison with Sweet Honey in the Rock, this group is less improvisational (at least on this recording), achieving a cleaner sound without sacrificing passion or authenticity. Well done! (52:08 1997)
