Free Music Notes for Live at Carnegie Hall
Free Music Review: uplifting harmonies
Hit: 5 Stars
The first three tracks on this cd alone will make you happy you purchased it. Beatitudes starts with "blessed are.." and no matter how bad your case of the blues, you will raise your head by the end of the song. Run, Run, Mourner Run showcases not only the separate harmonies working together but a playful interaction with the live audience as well. Wade in the Water is a fluid, soulful rendition of this church song. All of the good reasons you might go to church are contained in these songs. The cd continues with adventurous harmony, political statements and rises to climactic endings as in Our Side Won. No one can beat their arrangements and voices working together - truly the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. And in this case the parts are excellent as well.
Live at Carnegie Hall Poster
The magic of Sweet Honey in the Rock lies in the pulse and spirit of the group's performances. No recording can totally re-create the net of energy this powerful collective of women's voices casts over its audience, but Live at Carnegie Hall comes darn close. Here the group's members are free to develop songs as long as the spirit moves them--much longer, typically, than on their studio albums. Listen to the driven growls in the traditional folk chant "Run, Run, Mourner Run," the solemn contemplation of "Wade in the Water," and the circular wails and stirring percussion of "Denko" to feel Sweet Honey's spirit pounding through your bones. Live at Carnegie Hall also features several instructive yet tender introductions from founder Bernice Johnson Reagon, an amazingly theatrical presentation of Sonia Sanchez's poem "Letter to Dr. Martin Luther King," and a jazzy a cappella version of Paul Elouard's sensual poem "Peace." --Sally WeinbachRecorded in Manhattan on November 7, 1987, this double live album includes 70 minutes of music and spoken introductions. There's a representative balance of hymns, blues, protest songs, and Third World influences. The group's ability to stretch out songs is illustrated by a seven-minute version of "Wade in the Water" and an eight-minute version of "Letter to Dr. Martin Luther King" (one of three songs on the album composed for the PBS special The Dream and the Drum). --Geoffrey Himes
