From the group's web site:
Grammy Nominee: Best Chamber Music Performance 1973
A landmark recording presenting New England anthems by the early American Yankee Tunesmiths William Billings, Justin Morgan, Daniel Read and Andrew Law and Southern folk-hymns taken from the seminal collection, Wyeth's Repository of Sacred Music, Part II published in 1813. These startlingly original folk compositions are the progenitors of the shape-note style still sung today.

I Am the Rose of Sharon is a reissue of The Western Wind's first recording originally released on Nonesuch in 1973 under the title Early American Vocal Music. It was nominated for a Grammy in 1973 in the Chamber Music category and was selected as Stereo Review's Record of the Year.

"…the most beautiful and important recorded contribution to the performance of early American anthems, plain tunes and folk hymns…a music of astonishing directness, iridescence and spiritual depth…" - The New York Times
[Originally released on NONESUCH RECORDS in 1973. Available on CD for the first time](1973 46:04)
