Southern Harmony

Editorial Reviews
Robert Carl, Fanfare
"... a very contemporary rewriting of hymns from the Sacred Harp tradition, a meeting of Copland and Glass that remains original."

Bill Tilland, Option
"Performed with grace and spirit ... this is music of great beauty and substance."

Album Description
A post-minimalist reworking of hymns from the famous 1854 edition of the eponymous hymn collection, one of the staple sources for shaped-note singing. It's a translation from a naive (if complex) church tradition into a form and texture conscious concert medium, an exploration of processes inherent in the original hymn but not developed there.

One of the Greats.......2007-06-09

Truly Five stars here, probably the Black Crowes' best album. Each song is a masterpiece, wonderfully written and produced. I'd buy it just on the strength of "Remedy" or "Sometimes Salvation," two of the most wonderfully- crafted rock songs you'll hear. But you also get five or six other classics thrown on top here.
"Sting Me," "Thorn In My Pride," "Bad Luck Blue Eyes," and "Hotel Illness" are all instant classics, and there isn't a dull moment on the whole recording.
A kind of breathtaking record, actually. Any gritty rock and roll fan will eat it up. It's on par with Exile on Main St or Physical Graffiti!

LORD OF MERCY!!!.......2007-04-05

Ok. So now Captain & Tennille don't make it as cutting edge rock and roll anymore. Ditto Olivia Newton John. Time for all you Yankees to get some sense and rinse the muck out of your ears. The South gave America jazz, gospel and rock and roll. This little album here just crawls with gators and kudzu. It tastes New Orleans. Burns like Atlanta. And it breathes clean like the Smoky Mountains.

Think your little piss-ant weinie art rock collection is so golden? Nothing but a Shirley Temple to this tumbler of Jack. Time to rock like a man on heavy testosterone. Time for women to strut a like an estrogen marinated Venus.

Guys, put on your dancin' shoes. Ladies, put that blue dress on. South is gonna rise again. Stand back and prepare to be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

THE BLACK CROWES' ANTICIPATING FOLLOW-UP TO $HAKE YOUR MONEY MAKER........2007-02-13

I will be writing a review on the legendary album entitled "THE SOUTHERN HARMONY AND MUSICAL COMPANION" by one of Rock's greatest bands. I give you one of America's favorite sons and one of Georgia's pride and joy's, THE BLACK CROWES. This album was originally released in 1992 on Compact Disc on the Def American Recordings records label in association with Angelus Entertainment. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary album or the artist, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the best informative and most accurate review possible.

During this period, THE BLACK CROWES were on a roll. The band was celebrating their newfound fame and fortune as a result of their extremely successful debut album "$HAKE YOUR MONEY MAKER" from 1990. Their popularity was forever growing tremendously as a result of their growing fanbase and following resulting in sold out concerts everywhere they performed. The band was definitely enjoying the fruits to its fullest excesses that the good life has to offer. According to the Rock critics, lead vocalist and frontman Chris Robinson was being labeled as one of Rock's newest sex symbol's. Having accomplished all of these tasks, it was now time for THE BLACK CROWES or should I say, lead vocalist and frontman Chris Robinson, his brother lead guitarist Rich Robinson, bassist Johnny Colt, drummer Steve Gorman, lead and rhythm guitarist Marc Ford and keyboardist and piano Ed Hawrysch to head back into the recording studio and record the follow-up to their extremely successful debut album $HAKE YOUR MONEY MAKER." As a result, after a certain period of time passed, THE BLACK CROWES would complete and hand in to their record label Def American Recordings records, "THE SOUTHERN HARMONY AND MUSICAL COMPANION." In my opinion, "THE SOUTHERN HARMONY AND MUSICAL COMPANION" is a well recorded and balanced album. And yes, this album does kick a*s.

All I will say is if you really want to get down and Rock to the music of this album, listen to the Rockers such as "Sting Me," the breathtaking "Remedy," the soulful "Thorn In My Pride," the blistering "Black Moon Creeping," the killer "No Speak No Have" and the funkish "My Morning Song."

If you like Blues Rock ballads, listen to the songs "Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye," "Sometimes Salvation" and "Time Will Tell."

This album does contain one Country Rock song called "Hotel Illness," this song sounds really good.

Overall, this is one hell of an album worth seeking out and checking into.

I would like to highly recommend purchasing this legendary album to own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. This album will definitely stand the test of time and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER.

In closing, with the success of their follow-up album "THE SOUTHERN HARMONY AND MUSICAL COMPANION," THE BLACK CROWES would continue on the path to further fame and fortune. The band's continued sell out's of all their concerts is an indication that THE BLACK CROWES are here to stay. With this in mind, THE BLACK CROWES legend does not even come close to ending here. There will be new stories that would need to be conquered, told and written in pages and chapters about their glorious career. But that, my fellow readers and reviewers, you will have to stay tuned and read more about at a later time. So here's to you Chris, Rich, Johnny, Steve, Marc and Ed. Keep Persevering. Keep The Faith. Keep On Rockin'. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," am I wrong? Thanks for reading my review and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also hope that you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. THE BLACK CROWES RULES. Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever In Rock, John L.

The Best Crowes Album!.......2007-01-14

There is literally not a single dull moment on this album! I can put this cd on play and just let the entire thing play. This album has it all; excellent vocals, great(alternately tuned) guitar work, fast songs, slow songs, and so much more! Not to be missed is an EXCELLENT cover of Bob Marley's "Time Will Tell" to close out the cd. All the other songs must be heard to believe how great this cd is. I used to think (and I think the majority of people still do) that the Crowes' debut "Shake Your Moneymaker" was better than this one. It took many years of listening to both albums for me to realize that this one had the slight edge over that one. "Sting Me" is one of my favorite Black Crowes tunes ever. Then there is the string of softer songs in numbers 3-5. These are probably my favorite part of the album. I don't like to give an analysis on every song, but I don't feel there is a need to here. They are ALL great songs. 10 songs = 10 GREAT songs on this one! Don't miss this album if you like classy, blusey rock music. Also recommended if you like this album are any of the Black Crowes' first 5 albums, though the first 3 are the truly great ones.

One of the best rock albums of the 90's.......2006-08-16

After the Black Crowes received mainstream success with their debut, "Shake your Moneymaker", the boys come out with a powerful blend of soulful rock. They also brought in highly skilled lead guitarist Marc Ford who sprinkles his guitar soloing magic all over these tracks. The brothers Robinson have also wrote a great bunch of songs from straight ahead rockers (sting me, remedy, my morning song, no speak no slave, and hotel illness) to two of their greatest ballads (thorn in my pride, and bad luck blue eyes goodbye). Throughout the album both Rich Robinson and Marc Ford show tremendous chemistry playing together, feeding off one another's playing they deliver an album jam packed for guitarist. Chris Robinson is not to outdone by singing some of the most heartfelt and soulful lyrics in the Crowes catalog. Steve Gorman pounds the drums like a man possesed reminicent of John Bonham. The Crowes decide to end the album with the only cover the band has ever recorded on a studio release. "Time will tell" was penned by Rita Marley (wife of legend Bob Marley), it's an acoustic jam that gives this album a soulful closer after rocking hard on the previous songs. This truly is one of the best albums to come along in the 90's. The Black Crowes are one of the few things still right in rock and roll, and it's never been more evident than on this album. Very highly recommended.

Album Description

Spirited new sounds from across the sea to the shores of the New Land. From the first colonists to the American Revolution and the birth of our republic Hesperus Early Music Ensemble's music reflects a time of new ideas, freedom and vitality. In town and village, parlor and ballroom, from the Appalachians to the great concert halls hear the musical pulse of early American music performed on a wide variety of folk and early music instruments. Includes: lively country-dance tunes, evocative Shape Note Hymns, old time Appalachian fiddle tunes, graceful European parlor music, French cotillions, divisions and improvisations. Introduction -The English Colonies in America were a patchwork-not just of territories whose boundaries became state lines, but of people from different places and classes with widely different values and experiences. This recording presents music from that patchwork; from England, the Colonial homeland; Scotland and Ireland, the homes of the largest groups of immigrants outside England; and France, the ally of the Patriots, and music written in the United States. More recordings by HESPERUS from Maggie's Music are Celtic Roots featuring Scottish fiddler, Bonnie Rideout and Early American Roots. Hesperus Ensemble is THE sought after musical group for period music that is both authentic, and most important fun, lively and spirited. They are frequent performers at the Smithsonian's Institute of American Music and can be heard on the soundtrack or the Paramount film with Johnny Depp entitled Sleepy Hollow! Excerpts from liner notes:2.A Set of English Country Dance Tunes: Maiden Lane, Jack O'Lent, Chestnut, Bonny Broom - The visionary London music publisher John Playford first published his English Dancing Master in 1651. It was reprinted 18 times over the next 77 years and is still popular today. 3. Parting Friends/Primrose - These tunes have come down to us in choral arrangements called shape-note hymns .

GREAT!.......2007-05-20

This cd travels everywhere with me and you can easily imagine a ball at Monticello given by Mr. Jefferson when you hear it.
Try not to daydream too much while driving as i had done several times..lol..it's hard not to with this cd..:)
Perfect for a colonial reenactment or party.

A relaxing journey into our Colonial past.......2006-03-16

I bought this CD to provide me with another dimension to my studies of period events. It truly contains a wealth of music, and takes it place as an important addition to my musical library. Living in the Mt Vernon area, I often travel with the CD playing while visiting historical places, and it provides a wonderful companion to "set the mood" for the myriad locations in the area. The quality of the sound is remarkable, the musicians superb, and the breadth of song selection provides a musical landscape for the period. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic!.......2004-03-04

I first heard the "Colonial America" CD by Hesperus when I visited Monticello recently (the home of Thomas Jefferson) where they were playing the songs in the gift shop. Imagine my dismay to find that only one cassette tape was left of the fabulous music of Hesperus; however, that tape held me spell-bound all the way home, from Virginia to North Carolina.

It was an incredible journey from the past that has stayed with me since, and every day I drive that one hour back and forth to work. This music has changed everything about the trips, and I can't wait for more.

Thanks to Amazon.com I was able to buy all three CD's, including "Early American Roots," "Colonial America" and the incredible "Celtic Roots" with the most beautiful violas imaginable.

Thank you Hesperus! Please play more!

Cold Mountain type music that's great.......2003-11-15

Novels and movies like Cold Mountain, Oh Brother Where Art Thou? and Song Catchers are showing the growing interest in traditional music and this recording hits the mark. It is music from the days of early America--the time when the first colonists come to America. You can hear the fiddle playing tunes still popular in the Appalachian mountains today and also hear shape note music arranged by Hesperus as wonderful instrumentals. The music takes you to a time when folks were making music in their homes-before TV, before the internet! This recording is good for teachers or educational purposes too- with informative liner notes. All the music is played on folk and early music instruments and it's lively and an enjoyable listen.

More Like This, Please!.......2006-01-31

This is a splendid and much needed compilation of pioneering artists in the Southern Gospel field. For well-deserved kudos, I'll simply defer to laudatory comments posted below, though I might suggest this could have been formatted as a box set considering the wealth of excellent material from all groups involved. My only quibble: the booklet should have included dates and artistic personnel for each song. Valuable historical items such as this necessitate more in-depth documentation . Otherwise, this delightful disc brings a bygone and sadly missed era back to life.

Good introduction to a little-known musical style.......2005-01-22

The key to appreciating this album is the "history of" part in the title... Southern Gospel is a very particular subgenre of American music, with many fans who would take offense at it being considered a "country" style... In the years since its mid-20th Century heyday, Southern Gospel has become more of a mom'n'pop, DIY musical style, with hundreds of artists recording for self-owned or small independent labels, supported by a network of religiously-motivated fans. Modern Southern Gospel has a much mellower sound than the old stuff, incorporating the soft pop style of groups like the Carpenters, with electronic keyboards and modern production laid on top of the vocal harmony tradition the style was originally known for. This volume concentrates on the old stuff, with tracks by foundational artists such as the Blackwood Brothers, the Chuck Wagon Gang, the LeFevers and the Stamps Quartet, as well as some rarer, archival recordings by less well-known artists. (The legendary African-American gospel group the Golden Gate Quartet are included as well, showing their stylistic influence on their white counterparts, and hey, who am I to complain? They always sound good.) Still, this older version of the Southern style may seem a bit foreign to modern SG fans, especially since the genre's country roots are fairly plain... Southern Gospel is still a genre that honors tradition, however, and an archival collection like this should be much welcome among the faithful... it's also a fine introduction for anyone making the move from, say, bluegrass gospel into the more overtly devotional SG style.

(PS - the liner notes draw heavily on the authoritative book on the style, "Close Harmony," by Appalachian State University history professor James R. Goff... I imagine anyone who's really into the style will want to pick that book up as well...)

Fine introduction to Southern Gospel.......2004-12-02

Dualtone's reissue of this Crossroads Music compilation features fourteen Southern Gospel selections from 1920 through 1955. This project is an outgrowth of the academic studies of history professor James Goff at Appalachian State University, and his book of the same title. The recordings include well-known names like The LeFevre Trio, Stamps Quartet and Blackwood Brothers, as well as numerous lesser-known, but no less worthy artists.

For the most part these are vocal tracks with musical accompaniment. Unsurprising, given that the Southern Gospel music industry grew out of the need for songbook publishers and singing schools to advertise their wares via touring quartets. As radio and records began to dominate live performance as a means for hearing music, these gospel acts became stars apart from their initial sponsors.

This is an excellent introduction to the genre, with extensive introductory and song-by-song notes by Dr. Goff. The remastering, from a wide variety of source material, brings it all together into a pleasurable, cohesive disc.

Great survey of Southern Gospel.......2004-11-09

This is an excellent introduction to Southern Gospel music. Songs from the giants in the field - Statesmen, Blackwood Brothers - as well as more obscure groups - Rebels Quartet, Homeland Harmony Quartet. Good sound quality considering the age and obscurity of some of the selections. Highly recommended.

save money.......2004-10-03

This is the poorest quality CD I have evey purchased. Have to turn volumn up and down to listen. Not very enjoyable.Some of it sounds like recorded in a tunnel, or very far from artists. Will most likely never to it again.

Rainbow fans avoid!!.......2007-01-09

Fans of Jackson Browne might enjoy this disc; but if you're buying this because of JLT's Purple connections you are gonna be wasting your money. If you enjoy Joe's voice, and want something silly and enjoyable, I'd recommend something more like "Rescue You" from 1986; in which JLT does the cheesy Lou Gramm thing; and very well too! But Fandango is just a whole other genre. I haven't heard the rest of their output; and I gave this three stars because I'm not qualified to rate this sort of ballad driven americana either up or down...but it has nothing in common with his later career whatsoever...don't say you haven't been warned.

Great collection of obscure Sweet Soul balladry........2006-12-25

For every Stylistics, Delfonics, Dramatics, Impressions and Spinners that made it there was at least one equally-talented Soul harmony group that didn't...but that deserved to. This wonderful compilation includes gorgeous ballads from such obscure but talented groups like Act One, The Mayberry Movement, Teacher's Edition, The Epsilons and many others whose records wnt nowhere when originally issued but that are today considered valuable collector's items. If you love Sweet Soul ballads then this CD must be added to your collection. As with virtually all other Kent compilations, this Cd's sound quality is excellent and the booklet features informative liner notes and discographical information. A must-have!!!

Requires repeated listening.......2003-10-16

There are quite a few good tunes here, such as Baby It's You" by the Masqueraders and "One Last Memory," by the Smallwood Brothers and the Floater's first record (as well as the sweet remake of Curtis Mayfield's "I've Been Trying.") For historical interest, there's the very first Jackson 5 record (pre-Motown) "Big Boy" with what Michael himself has described as "that killer bass line," but that's easily available elsewhere. At first, the lack of catchy hooks in most of the tunes will cause the casual listener to dismiss this collection as lesser works (as I did at first), but upon repeated listening, these obscure tunes are (for the most part) quite wonderful. So when you buy this, give it a few listens before you pass judgement. These songs will sound better once they grow on you.

If you Andre 3000 sangin'.............2004-12-08

Unfortunately the tank was running out of gas when this album came out. It was actually good but at the time it didn't get any publicity. This is one of many slept on No Limit albums that came out between late fall of 98'- present.

Guess what big name artist stole an entire song off of this album and made it into a hit.

1,2,3, HIT IT....

~~~~~~SHOCKED~~~~~~.......2002-04-28

All i really have to say is "wow"!!! Mo B. Dick was always on the chorus's of some phat No Limit tracks, but he was always kind of in the backround, never shining like P, C, and Silkk. I've been seeing this album since way back in the day, but it wasnt released until No Limit had fell off, causing me (and probobly many others) not to purchase this album. Well, what can i say?? I was very wrong!! This album is hot, heavily exceeding my expectations as a singer and a producer. There were a couple of cuts on the album he could have done without, but hey..... Im definately not complaining!!! This album is more R&B then rap, but is hella bumpin!!!! One word of advice.... "BUY"!!!!!!

DONT SLEEP ON MO B.......2001-08-16

I have several hundred hiphop albums. I am probably one of the top ten hiphop heads on this dirty planet. This album is without a single doubt a CLASSIC. We all have different opinions, well mine is that if you dont feel this, then you dont have an open mind to real music. Mo B put a lot of hard work and dedication into this work of art. Sure Mo B will never get international attention or a video cut on MTV or BET, but Mo B does have fans, and I am probably one of his biggest. Mo B is the chours in mad No Limit cuts. Give Mo B credit for this album. Very nice prodcution. Personally I think Mo B is their best producer, and on his own lp he shows off his own unique style of production. This album should be part of any collection for all music lovers.

WHOA!.......2000-09-25

I'VE SEEN THIS CD AROUND PLACES FOR ABOUT A YEAR BEFORE I FINALLY DECIDED TO BUY IT. NOW I'M WONDERING WHY I WAITED SO LONG!! HE'S A GREAT SONGWRITER/PRODUCER. COULD IT B? IS THE HOTTEST TRACK!

pick it up ya'll.......2000-09-12

i been a true hip hop fan for like 11 years now. but i never really got into R&B music. but when i heard this Mo B Dick album, i got addicted to it. it was just so different from the R&B im used to hearing. it was unique. my favorite track is track #1. i listen to it over and over. this album was written, produced, and performed by Mo B Dick, this man has talent. so pick up this album, u wont regret it, i promise u
