Album Description
I Belong to This Band is a companion to the documentary film, Awake, My Soul: The Story of the Sacred Harp. The CD contains 30 recordings which weave three important strands of Sacred Harp's recorded history. The first strand is made up of the earliest recordings of the genre which were pressed on 78s in the 1920s, '30s and '40s. Second, there are home recordings made by small groups of singers in the 1950s. Third, there are recordings of contemporary all day singings which are the native environment for this music.

Rolling Stone, February 8, 2007, David Fricke
To quote Leonard Cohen, 'God is alive, magic is afoot' in the soaring magnificence of Southern sacred-harp choirs, a robust, harmonically intricate blend of country joy and unearthly drone. It is living worship, too.

Spin, March 2007, Will Hermes
Most anything, even a tune called "Save, Lord, or We Parish," sounds more awesome when hollered by a room full of people. Indie rock's glee club (hello Sufjan) could learn a lot from this.
