Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Higher Ground is the follow-up to the Blind Boys Grammy-winning Spirit Of The Century, and it celebrates the holy side of secular songs in the hope of connecting with, as founding member Clarence Fountain said, "the generations that are behind us". Always alert to the potent message of God's mightiness, they exuberantly spiritualise the Stevie Wonder title track and Curtis Mayfield’s "People Get Ready", as well as choice picks from the songbooks of Prince ("The Cross"), George Clinton ("You And Your Folks", grafted onto the 23rd Psalm!), Ben Harper ("I Shall Not Walk Alone") and others (Harper guests on three tracks). A few uplifting traditional gospel numbers turn up too. Throughout the programme, Blind Boy Jimmy Carter’s stirring tenor voice is a minor miracle. And "sacred steel" guitarist Robert Randolph and his Family Band are important to the success of the album, supplying an genuine fervour to grooves that complement the elders’ heaven-bound vocals. --Frank-John Hadley
