Always alert to the potent message of God's mightiness, they exuberantly spiritualize 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 program, 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 genuine fervor to grooves that complement the elders' heaven-bound vocals. --Frank-John Hadley      Product description      2002 release from veteran gospel group on the Real World Label.
