Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars a voice teacher and early music fan.......2006-09-22

The following quote is a good way to introduce this album; it is from the poem "The Singer" by Eva A. Jessye. "Because of ebon skin and humble pride,The world with hatred thrust the youth aside.....And through our grief we rise to nobler things....A well of sweetness there unbidden springs." This disc portrays the talents of two wonderful musicians: Moses Hogan,excellent pianist, creator of exciting arrangements of spirituals both for solo voice and choirs AND that countertenor
Derek Ragin with his truly lovely voice capable of great vocal technique and versatility. He has appeared in several operas; two with Michael Chance that are wondrous to listen to: Tamerlano and Agippina. Spiritual are not my favorite thing, but there are some ear-catching beauties on this one;namely:"Ole Time Religion" and "Give Me Jesus". Some others are: 'Steal Away'-'Little David Play on your Harp'-'This Little Light of Mine' and many more. Some are a cappela, some accompanied by the piano, and some by piano with choir back-up. You do not have to be a lover of spirituals to enjoy this disc. But if you are, you will be in heaven!!!!!!

4 out of 5 stars I Feel the Spirit Too.......2006-08-17

Very beautiful voice, sometimes I forget that the soloist voice is that of a male singer. Would like to hear more of Moses Hogan on keyboard and his arrangements.

5 out of 5 stars just excellent.......1999-06-30

Although I do not like spirituals too much, it is a must listening to this fantastic countertenor singing with Moses Hogan. For me, Derek Lee Ragin has such a brilliant voice, I never heard before in my life.

5 out of 5 stars Saw the Moses Hogan chorale live in NYC and loved them!.......1998-10-16

Truly great spirituals, truly brilliant arrangements by Moses Hogan. I can't wait to collect all his CDs.

4 out of 5 stars swank deep house........2000-12-31

Excellent house, soulful without being unintelligent, funky without being cliched. The songs don't have that "made for club consumption" feel that you get from, say, Naked Music. A very warm and personal album and very much worth owning.

5 out of 5 stars More than just house..........2000-10-10

This album goes beyond genre, becoming a true expression of a production aesthetic. Gene Farris is into quality, whether it's a filter-disco work-out or a hip-hop influenced downtempo track. Soul pours from each track, referencing artists from Earth, Wind, and Fire, to DJ Sneak. Top Quality!

4 out of 5 stars House music personified -- with two great groove tracks.......2000-09-14

Ever since I was introduced to House Music in Chicago, back when there was WBMX and the Hot Mix 5 -- I knew that the way music was marketed and played would change. We are now in the year 2000 and the way electroica, as it relates to House Music vibe, has changed. Theres Techno, Trance, Speed, Garage, and so on. But my all time favorite is genuine House Music.

To Mr. Gene Farris, I say keep the house vibe alive. All of the tracks that you programmed, coupled with the sultry voices that appear on occassion, is spot on!!!

If Gene could, I would like him to explore making a complete downtempo CD. Tracks 1 and 6 are key to an excellent downtempo CD.
