Album Description

In pre-Civil War years, Black gospel spirituals often served dual purposes - to assert hope for a better life and to convey coded directions and advice to runaway slaves heading north on the Underground Railroad, a network of sympathizers providing food, shelter and aid. Many of these same songs became anthems of the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, their messages of faith and determination stoking freedom marches and rallies. Since 1982, the married folksinging duo of Kim and Reggie Harris has been exploring the rich lore of Underground Railroad stories and songs and their subsequent reuse in more modern contexts. The Harrises' 1997 Appleseed CD, "Steal Away: Songs of the Underground Railroad," was proclaimed "a stunning recording" by Sing Out! magazine and has been embraced as a teaching tool by Underground Railroad and Black history museums, freedom centers, and school systems. On the new "Get On Board!", Kim (vocals) and Reggie (vocals, guitar) present some of the lesser-known Underground Railroad songs they've uncovered, revive several standards from their past recordings and mix in newer compositions "Ballad of the Underground Railroad," co-written by Black history scholar Charles L. Blockson, Cathy Fink's spirited "One Little Step Towards Freedom," and Roberta Slavitt's aching "Freedom is a Constant Struggle." The Harrises' guests on "Get On Board!", spanning ages and genres, include Bernice Johnson Reagon, renowned musician, teacher, activist and founder of Sweet Honey in the Rock; actor Danny Glover; contemporary folk-blues performer Guy Davis; Matt and Marshall Jones of the SNCC Freedom Singers group of the '60s; 14-year-old rapper Jonathan "Baby Jay" Gutierrez; acclaimed folk duos Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer and Magpie, and many others.

Prominent among the CD's glories is the use of voices - Kim's radiant mezzo-soprano and Reggie's high baritone appear in innumerable harmonic combinations, swooping around each other, slipping in and out of unison, joyfully welcoming the additional vocal textures of their guests. The vibrant arrangements and the fascinating background of the songs, described in the CD's liner notes, make "Get On Board!" an accessible and uplifting documentary of music's role in our country's history.

Customer Reviews:

Robeson at his best.......2001-03-24

This album consists of recordings Paul Robeson made in Britain durong the 1920s. He is accompanied by the great pianist Lawrence Brown or by a small orchestra led by Ray Noble. The songs on this disc are spirituals or pop songs of the era, and Robeson shines on every one of them. Robeson has an uncanny ability to make any song his own property, and this is especially true on his version of "Little Pal" - originally a saccharine semi-racist ballad written for Al Jolson. Robeson turns the song into a searing lament of an estranged father, and makes the song valid even today with his urgent, committed delivery. The majority of the songs on the cd are spirituals, and Robeson's versions are definitive in every sense of the word. All in all, there isn't a bad track here, and as an introduction to Robeson's work the record is priceless. The only aspect worth criticizing is the fact that the liner notes seem to shy away from the fact that Robeson was the first important black artist to actively fight for civil rights. The music here, however, is extremely beautiful.

Old School Gospel.2.......2007-03-28

Dorothy Love Coates and the Original Gospel Harmonettes are among the absolute best female gospel groups of all time. They were pace-setters and it would be great if their original arrangements were acknowledged more often. The instrumental selection and the sermonette herein are priceless.

A Heavenly Treasure.......2004-03-21

I just recently discovered the music of Dorothy Love Coates and The Original Gospel Harmonettes. I don't take it out of my cd player. I also have a copy for my car. If you are a fan of the good old fashioned annointed gospel, you will love everything by this artist, and her group.

King Black Acid - A Solid Release.......2007-07-11

I don't know a lot about these guys. I actually got the album from a friend who bought it and did not care for it. I gave it spin and found that I really liked it. They somewhat compare to Pink Floyd with a psychedelic edge. I am not sure that I would call this progressive rock, although it certainly flirts with the genre. Several of the tracks clock in at over 10 minutes. Overall I like this album a lot, the music is all solid. The lyrics vary in quality and the vocals are all good too. The band has several other albums out, but this is the only one I own. This band is worth checking out.

King Black Acid - 'Loves A Long Song' (Cavity Search) 3 1/2 stars.......2007-05-12

Decently good effort by this Portland 'alternative neo-psychedelic' band. Still like their 'Womb Star Session' CD better (see my review). Personally, I think it's their best work ever. Now, as for 'Loves A...', I was impressed with the title's two epics the most. The eleven-minute atmospheric "I've Heard You're Still Alive" and the twelve-minute "Gentle Collapse". Also liked "Into The Sun" and maybe "Born To Sleep". Also like the asking price. Worth checking out.

Earlier efforts a better, but great anyhow........2003-10-27

One person gives 5 Stars to Britney Spears because she is soooo talented and 1 to King Black Acid?!? , well, there you have it, anyone that compares a high caliber rock band to anything done by Britney is absolutely deaf, so read well the other comments and ignore the one that is so out of context and fairness.

Listen to the earlier albums, this guys are good, very good indeed !

Nadir.......2003-01-31

Quite possibly, the worst music I have ever heard in my life. I listen to a lot of music, and am very forgiving, but this stuff is just plain aweful. And for anyone to dare and compare this band to Pink Floyd is like comparing a Cajun fried shrimp to a playful Blue Whale: There's no likeness except for the fact that they both have homes in water. This stuff is the pits. Please, do not encourage this group by buying their album. Perhaps, after a while, King Black Acid will lay of the dope and realize they have no musical talent whatsoever. Then, they can peacefully reaquaint themselves with the real world and grab hold of a 'real' job that will produce something of worth in this world. This CD is a mockery, a bad joke! To give them 5 stars is absurd. I can see giving Britney Spears five stars for her efforts because the girl has talent (even though I don't like her style of music). But to give these guys 5 is a crime...

downright grand.......2002-09-06

i picked up this cd at the tower records in shibuya (which is in tokyo, japan). i was shocked to find kba there- i'd never seen their albums outside of oregon before.
what can be said about the 8 minute pop song? it's a brilliant concept. the melodies are smooth, and the band has actually added the use of a chorus and of hooks. compared to 'sunlit' (which is actually a better album), 'loves a long song' is a simple and easily accessible work. it also translates better to the stage; i've seen them quite a few times, and the songs from this album work perfectly live. the running times of the songs might seem kind of long, but eventually it just carries you away, and you don't notice at all that the last song is... 12 minutes long.
the only criticism i could make would be that daniel is not the top lyricist out there- however, the words fit fine with the music, which is the main selling point. when i first heard this, i thought that some of the songs could get radio play, which would lead to a wider audience for kba; although i think that their audience has expanded, it is not to the level i had hoped.

this album deserves a listen based on sheer beauty. it is gorgeous and melodic; soft, sad, and sometimes rockin'. it's just good. it's just really, really good.
