This is an atypical recording for South Africa's leading a cappella group. Most of the songs are collaborations with other musicians, and most are not a cappella. The Christian spirituality theme that runs through most of the songs is not altogether unusual, although in no previous Mambazo release has there been such a concentration. Among the (accompanied) highlights are "Knockin' On Heaven's Door," a Bob Dylan tune with Dolly Parton singing lead, "People Get Ready" with Phoebe Snow out front, and Lou Rawls backed up by Mambazo on "Chain Gang." There's also five a cappella performances by Mambazo themselves of original tunes by leader Joseph Shabalala. Definitely a change of pace! (59:45 1997)
