Blind Boys Of Alabama Spirit of the Century [Digipak]

3.5 stars out of 5 - "...Summons the evangelical spirit of a crusade in progress, capturing the feeling not just of the revival tent but of the dark, human swampland lurking beyond it..."
"...With an estimable backing band...and fetching covers...these gospel elders have found the fountain of youth..." - Rating: A-
3 stars out of 5 - "...Their first attempt at recording modern gospel-inspired material succeeds admirably....powerful enough to give Karl Marx religion..."
"...There's always risk in taking such purity and adding outside elements, but the Blind Boys are the stars here...withtheir guests adding tasteful touches of blues and soul..."
4 discs out of 5 - "With their gravelly, tight-knit gospel harmonizing and raw, gutbucket soul, [they] make cats liek Sisqo and K-Ci sound like vocal pip-sqeaks....It maikes you want to holla and scream, hallelujah!"
"...Refreshingly accessible, fitted out as it is with instrumental settings...that re both piquant and ingenious....an affecting album."
