This, Anonymous 4's final recording, is a break from their usual "early music" periods and locations; it presents American music, religious in nature, from the 18th and 19th centuries. And it's absolutely beautiful from start to finish. Their normal, exquisite technique and purity here blend to sound the way we imagined the ladies' choir in church meetings in America past might have sounded: sweet, sincere, and with harmonies recognizable yet somehow fresh. Some of the songs begin with the women singing "fa, so la" exercises, which was called "shape note" singing because some places taught singing with notes as shapes--circle, rectangle, diamond, triangle. But it's the music that counts, and there are treasures here. They include two versions of "Amazing Grace," one familiar, one with an unusual melody and a piece called "Blooming Vale" which is as sophisticated as anything on their previous albums. "Shall We Gather at the River" is performed with a clarity and loveliness that makes us forget that it's normally sung as background to movies about the Great Depression. The foursome sometimes sing in rich harmonies and occasionally alone or in pairs or trios. This is glorious Americana and highly recommended. --Robert Levine

Customer Reviews:

spiritual americana.......2007-01-06

I have some of the older Anonymous 4 recordings which are more medieval
and gregorian in style (I love them!). They move on to cover spiritual
basics of the 1800s. If you like classical music, perfect harmonies
and spiritual americina, then you will be blessed!

Rich Heritage.......2006-10-11

Anonymous 4 consistently produces exquisite and authentically beautiful recordings and this one presents early American hymns in ways few groups can manage. Some tunes are highly recognizable while others are 'new' to me but a refreshing reminder of the singing heritage of religious societies in times past. For those who enjoy old hymns and authentic renderings, this is a must buy.

Superb .......2006-08-07

This collection of American Christian music is not only an enthralling musical experience but a spiritually uplifting one as well. Anonymous Four have transferred their luminous vocal quality to a new space with perfect success.

Can't walk away from it!.......2006-08-07

My only "complaint" about the CD is that I absolutely HAVE to sit and listen to the entire thing whenever I start it up! I usually have music playing in the background while doing other things, but not this one! There are no tracks that I find myself wanting to skip over as in most collections. In fact, I usually find myself going back and listening to selected tracks again (and again and...) after taking the hour+ to listen to the whole thing through once.

These four ladies produce a unique and remarkable sound. I can't recommend it enough.

Mana from Heaven.......2006-05-08

I think the title of this CD is perfect. I first heard an interview for this CD on Public Radio and fell in love. I had never heard Anonymous 4 before then but look for all I can find of their music now. The title is perfect as the women sound like Angels and the music lifts the spirit. I find myself singing the old version of Amazing Grace all the time now. Incredible and a huge blessing to all who hear it.

Great to Hear All those great Voices from the Past.......2007-07-05

I just wanted to confirm what the first reviewer had to say about this CD. To hear Ethyl Merman, Mary Martin, Andrea McCardle etc. singing their trademark songs brought a lot of memories from the mid-centry musical theater back again. The last song by Glynis Johns is especially poignant.
You certainly can't beat the price!

A Good One!.......2006-11-10

This is a very good CD, mostly because it's the original artists. I've had some that were re-recorded by no name artists that were ghastly. This one is a really good one--including the sound quality. If I had one wish, I would wish it were longer!

AMAZING.......2004-07-06

I have been listening to Rusted Root for quite a while now, and somehow had never listened to this CD. I never knew what I was missing. This CD is great. It not only has a great version of Send Me On My Way, but the Cat Turned Blue is amazing. The song Won't Be Long is one of my personal RR favorites now. I would recommend this CD to any RR fan.

great.......2004-06-13

in no way can one classify the sound of rusted root into one genre. it is unique, so much so that i'll be redundant and say it's very unique. if you haven't heard their music before, imagine taking an african, an american or englishman influenced by rock & roll, one from the land of a billion people, two women with a feminist spirit and a shaman, give them instruments with which they are highly skilled, and let them play. that will sound something like rusted root. who gives a feck about the lyrics?, albeit they aren't bad.

Best acoustic jam band.......2004-03-13

I'm probably biased writing this review since I grew up listening to Rusted Root in Pittsburgh. I've never heard any band like them and that is a rare thing. I'm on my fourth copy of this CD, having worn out the others. This CD never gets old. The Root strayed from their original raw acoustic sound in future albums. When I Awoke is their first outing on a major label, it's good but not great. Crual Sun is great. Just buy it and you'll see.

Classic Rusted Root -- REMASTERED!.......2003-11-26

Ah Rusted Root! A good old-fashioned jam band, unaltered by commercial popularity. This newly remastered version of their original, self-produced album reminds us why we love this band so much. A definate keeper for anyone who loves RR and hasn't gotten their first album yet. And my personal recommendation -- if you love this band -- go see them live. I've seen them twice, and they are by far and away the best band I have ever seen live. Amazing drum breaks, great banter, and music that frees your soul.

brilliant.......2003-04-05

As an electronic music fan, I've always been a stickler for recording quality and a technically refined sound. Well guess what? This disc has neither and is about the most charming thing I own. It hasn't left my changer since I got it. The songs are very rough - many of them have seen more refined versions appear on later Root albums - but nothing except perhaps for When I Woke has the same kind of jam band charm as this disc.

Truckin' Heaven.......2006-03-22

I've had this CD for a little over a month and I can't seem to get it out of my truck's CD player. This is definitely one of those CD's that makes you want to drive a semi!!! This is my first Dave Dudley CD, but it certainly won't be my last. The instrumentation is not overkill, but when it's there, it just feels right. The highlights on this CD for me are Two Six Packs Away and Me and Ole CB. If you like Dale Watson and Junior Brown type stuff, you'll see where they got it from.

DAVE DUDLEY, ICEBREAKER.......2000-12-16

Several years ago, my good buddy's sister got married to the son of a genteel Southern family from Atlanta, or maybe S.Carolina , or somewhere well south of Cement City (n.y,). After the wedding and reception, everyone returned to the bride's family home for what would be the first meeting of the families close-up. There was some tension here, since in addition to being new in-laws, the groom's parents were "Southeners" and my buddy's family were Long Islanders (pronounced Lawn Guyland, since most of us here were born in Brooklyn). Being musically inclined, my buddy and his brothers and a couple of other guys broke out the guitars and the harmonica, and the very first song they played was "Six Days on the Road" It surprised the guests for a few seconds,but then everyone was either singing or keeping time by slapping their knees. The rest of the party went great, and the newlyweds lived happily ever after,I think, partially due to Dave Dudley. And I'm ordering me a mess of Dave's tapes right quick, ya hear!

six days on the road turned out to last for almost 30 years.......2000-11-01

In the very early seventies a friend and I drove in an old Land Rover overland from Austria to Sri Lanka (way down southeast of anywhere).I had somehow gotten hold of a couple of Mcs by Dave Dudley. Up to then I had never heard of him. But gee, every town we left we played the six days on the road and another song called "one more mile" Boy, we spent more than six days on those roads and made more than one detour. From then on Dave Dudley has been a constant companion on the sometimes bumpy road of my life. I just wish, the guy would sing forever ! By the way, the other day I had an E-mail written by Dave and I can tell you, I have never been so thrilled in all my life, which has up to now lasted for almost 60 years.

Seattle Loves Dave & his purported sister "Miss Dudley".......2000-03-29

Learned about "The Master" on Pat Cashman's morning KOMO-AM 1000 show where Dave is a lesser God. Never fails to raise the roof when Pat cranks up "Two six packs away"! Mr. Dudley is not defintiely NOT PC which makes things all the better...

A woman with a charming southern accent who purports to be the adoring sister of Mr. Dudley lives in Seattle and occasionally calls in to the Pat Cashman show to extoll the virtues of her purported brother Dave Dudley. "Miss Dudley", as she calls herself, is a much loved, hilarious Seattle character who has added another level of relish to Dave Dudley's music.

Excellent!.......1999-10-05

As a young boy I used to listen to Dave dudly & six days on the road,as my Dad was a trucker & died in a truck wreck in 53 when I was just 3 yrs old.He used to play guitar & even played the ole Grand Ole oprey to which im very proud.Myself I have been in & out of trucks & allways listen to Dave & his great songs,even now that im involved in Motor Carrier Safety,I still listen to him a lot.Great Singer he is.

Customer Reviews:

Soloists Poor, Vibrato Out Of Control, Spend $ Elsewhere.......2006-04-25

Truly dissapointed with this one.

Of course, BYU's is better than this; the sopranos sound like they have an average age of 60.

The soprano section lives in some wierd dichotomy. During the "Agnus Dei" you get a particularly bad B-52 like vibrato, then during the 7/8 section of "5 Hebrew Songs" they sound like a mediocre State School College Choir with a breathy unsupported sound. Both instances weren't out of tune. They just lacked a firm foundation.

When the soloists in "Tonight Eternity Alone" come in with shocking vibrato and lack of professional musicality, I actually skipped ahead.

If you are looking for a great cd other than BYU's. Try the CD entitled "Cloudburst", sung by Polyphony, conducted by Stephen Layton on Hyperion Records. It will blow you away. Save your money on this one, unless you would like to use this CD to compare the differences between it and either BYU or Polyphony.

Paying a premium fee for this CD, I expected something a bit better than an average grade semi-professional choir.

Daniel, find some new sopranos if you want to continue to sell CD's for $17 a pop.

A fabulous CD!.......2006-03-24

I don't know what these people are talking about. I've heard the BYU cd and it leaves me cold. The tone is so pure and thin that it has no life to it. The Choral Project breathes life into these pieces by Eric Whitacre. Another winner is Frank Ticheli's "There Will Be Rest". Simply stunning. A fabulous CD!

Decent, but too much vibrato.......2006-02-03

I am a huge Eric Whitacre fan, so I am always excited about his recordings. So far the best recording of his Choral works is the BYU singers, which is far superior to this recording. My biggest complaint is that nearly every piece from Water and Light is filled with vibrato. I have read some internet postings by Mr. Whitacre himself and he has said that his pieces are best sung without vibrato because the harmonies are designed to fit tightly together. All the vibrato makes the pieces not sound completely in tune (I'm am not saying that these performers are not capable of singing in tune, just that the vibrato makes the harmonies not quite as strong)

Not bad...BYU is markedly superior........2006-01-29

As the previous reviewer, I'm a huge Eric Whitacre fan. If you're looking for a recording of his Five Hebrew Love Songs (which are stunningly beautiful), may I recommend "Beautiful River" by BYU Concert Choir (on Tantara Records). In comparing the two side by side...well there is no comparison.

Not BYU, but worth adding to your collection.......2006-01-17

Eric Whitacre has taken the contemporary choral music world by storm. Since the release of his collected a cappella works CD (recorded by BYU Singers/Ron Staheli), choral music fans cannot get enough of his music.

Being such a fan, I bought this CD on a whim. I was excited for the opportunity to hear recordings of several pieces not included on the BYU recording (Little Birds, She Weeps Over Rahoon, Five Hebrew Love Songs).

Whitacre's music is as aurally stunning as it is difficult to sing, and the Choral Project does an adequate job of re-interpreting these pieces. If you've gotten use to the excellent quality of the BYU recording, you may be disappointed by this album--the balance and blend of this choir leaves something to be desired at times (not to mention the overly-offensive vibrato from several of the sopranos).

Perhaps the best track on the album is the Ticheli (mostly known for his band/wind ensemble compositions) "There Will Be Rest". If you aren't familiar with this piece, it's worth buying the album just to hear this one...

All-in-all, it's worth buying this album as long as you don't set your expectations too high.

Album Description

"Outstanding!" - BOSTON POST-GAZETTE

"Ann Sweeten is an extremely talented woman…not just a musician, but a composer, arranger and producer, Ann is a pianist whose abilities are unrivalled. Technical composition, only to be expected from a background in classical, is blended with originality and passion, delivering pianist perfection." - LINEAR REFLECTIONS

"One of the most graceful and quietly soothing albums I've heard. Very highly recommended!" - SOLO PIANO PUBLICATIONS

Three-time music award nominee and contemporary classical pianist/composer Ann Sweeten has crafted a signature sound over the course of six albums. Her music has aired and been reviewed across the world to wide critical acclaim! A Place in the Sun is a musical journey of healing and hope, full of passionate melodies performed on Steinway grand pianos awash with synthesized orchestration and several flute performances. Sweeten's last two albums charted #3 at radio, making them two of the most-played modern instrumental albums in North America. A Place in the Sun is at once relaxing and soothing while it soars with melodic integrity. So much more than just background music, this is a truly moving listening experience. The liner notes are a must-read, as the compositions reflect moments of Sweeten's personal journey through breast cancer. A story of hope, light and victory!

I've had this for 13 years and it's my absolute favorite CD. It has the gentle sounds of a babbling brook with birds singing. Very relaxing and authentic with no distracting music. When I am stressed it melts the tension away almost immediately. It transforms the whole atmosphere of my house from the middle of the suburbs into a country home on the edge of a stream. When friends stop over while its playing they are always pleasantly surprised and make comments on how much they like it.

The Ideal "Sun Song" Companion.......2001-08-18

This collection of previously unreleased material makes an ideal companion with the now-famed "Sun Song." Both recordings boast strong, catchy compositions and show Sun Ra blending traditional big-band arrangements with bold voicings and pioneering musicianship. My personal favorite is "Paradise," where Sun Ra (who alternates between acoustic and electric pianos) plays over a brilliant conga track, thereby creating an effect which prefigures the Latin music craze of the early sixties. In all ways, this session deserves as much recognition as any great jazz recording of its time.

Pretty Session.......2000-10-28

The history of the record - Ra recorded it in 1957 for Transition, but they went out of business and it didn't come out until 1968. Transition did release a Ra album in 1956, "Sun Song", before they went under. So Ra had practically no visibility in the consumer market until the late 60's, while making incredible music. He released two albums on his own Saturn label (small-scale)in 1956 and 57, "SuperSonic Jazz" and "Jazz in Silhouette", and later released many sessions from the late 50's on his Saturn label; these are now available on CDs on the Evidence labels. One Saturn that he put out in 1967 (before this material had been issued by anyone) contained 4 of the tracks recorded here ("Sun Ra Visits Planet Earth", Side B of the Saturn LP and tracks 1 - 4 of the must-have Evidence CD).

Customer Reviews:

Excellent , soothing yet invigorating!.......2006-11-18

Where has this artist been? His style of Flamenco/Spanish guitar is terrific. We have purchased another copy of Sedona Sun so that my wife can keep one in her pre-school class. Even the one year olds know great music when they hear it. I certainly hope to hear more of this artist soon!

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!.......2006-11-10

I first heard Greg Reiter perform live in lovely Sedona a few years ago.
I was so amazed with his talent and knew one day he would make it big!
I couldn't believe what he could do with his guitar. I was further blown away when I learned that he actually writes his own music! I loved his music so much that I purchased a few of his Sedona Sun CDs and gave them out as holiday gifts to my friends and clients. After their feedback, I begged Greg for an interview and the opportunity to share his music with my community. He performed live on our community show which broadcast to 4 cities. Our show ratings went up sky high and our community loved his music!

Since then, Greg has enriched and serenaded our town and surrounding cities with the music from Sedona Sun. Since the show aired Greg's music has been demanded and requested in our community. He has performed in our cultural festivals, community concerts and special events. Thank you Greg if you are reading this and I am so happy to see that your hard work and dedication has paid off and you even made it to Amazon.com! Wish you more success!

You'll Love It !!!!!.......2006-11-08

I NEVER KNEW HOW GOOD FLAMENCO/JAZZ COULD BE. I BOUGHT ONE; LISTENED AND LOVED IT. SO I BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE SO I COULD HAVE ONE IN MY CAR AND ONE FOR WHEN I FLY. IT MAY NOT SOUND LIKE A POSITIVE STATEMENT BUT I ENJOY LISTENING TO IT WHEN I AM IN THE AIRPORT AND ON THE PLANE. IT IS SOOTHING AND INVERGERATING. ONE OF THE MY FRIENDS SAID SHE & HER HUSBAND LOVED IT, BUT BEST OF ALL THEIR 4 MONTH OLD JAMMED OUT TO IT IN HER DOORWAY BUNGEE CHAIR.

BUY IT! YOU WILL LOVE IT!

Great Flamenco Guitarist.......2006-11-08

This CD is everything I thought it would be and more. Heard this guitarist in Sedona and once is not enough. I knew he would go far with his music. A glass of wine and Sedona Sun, what a holiday.
