| The Byrd of Paradise Reviewed 2007-06-19 | ||
|
Queen of church/blues. Smoky vocals, "real" vocals (not stories). The last member of the Staple Singers still performing. Serious production, solid band & material. 1. Lowdown bounce - comment on racism 2. Moanin' strings & vocals on 2nd line 3. Oldtime classic church anthem from the Civil Rights era 4. Classic call and response - swampy 5. Laidback percussion march on Civil Rights chant 6. Lowdown/rock-ified version of old churchy kids song 7. Tight, tuff Civil Rights march 8. Soulful midtempo - story of her experience in the Nivil Rights and now, from laidback to a slow build up -- powerful 9. Updated version of Civil Rights anthem 10. Slow, smoky ballad 11. Easy strollin' churchy anthem | ||
