Album Intro：
Sweet Honey in the Rock send their joyful noise throughout the audience on this soundtrack to the Raise Your Voice documentary, part of PBS's American Masters series. As the all-female a cappella group traces American gospel to its African roots, they all but dare listeners to resist becoming part of the music. On the environmentally conscious, central African 'Chant,' the singalong encircles the hall, providing a stirring response to Sweet Honey's call. A strong social conscience informs material such as 'Joan Little,' an expression of solidarity with an abused prisoner, and 'The Ballad of Harry T. Moore,' a tribute to a slain civil rights organizer. Instrumental backing propels the funky 'Ballad of the Broken Word,' written by Toshi Reagon, daughter of Sweet Honey founder Bernice Johnson Reagon. Yet as the soaring spirituality of 'In the Upper Room with Jesus' attests, vocal power is all this group requires to overwhelm a responsive crowd. --Don McLeese
