 Blind Boys of Alabama, Down in New Orleans Oct 14, 2009
Good tape but I expected a better quality sound. I thought the tape would be more "MOVING" but it really isn't. The songs are good.
 GOTTA GET IT! Jun 19, 2009
Being from South Louisiana and spending a LOT of time in New Orleans, there is no way to avoid that New Orleans sound becoming a part of you. I've longed for some music that would catch the upbeat, unmistakeable sound of this area...while still being something I can listen to and sing along with as a Christian. This is perfect! It is so wonderful to dance and sing aloud to the Lord... all the while feeling so at home with those familiar sounds. KUDOS to the Blind Boys...they did it again!

 Not impressed Aug 19, 2008
I purchased this without hearing first based on a review in The Absolute Sound magazine. I do not like it at all. I know the Blind Boys have recorded some nice stuff in the past so I took a chance with this. This is not my taste at all.

A record as good as its cover May 01, 2008
Had to give a shoutout to the great cover art, which looks like a weathered sign, and matches the rugged red clay harmonies on the record. Backed by the best musicians you'll hear anywhere (as a keyboard player, I would sell my soul to the devil for Allen Toussaint's skills), the Blind Boys deliver a powerful gospel record. I had initially feared that the record would consist of overly-familiar songs and arrangements, but everything here sounds fresh, even "Down by the Riverside." Their version of Toussaint's "Make a better world" is a highlight.

70 Years of Joy Mar 06, 2008
Formed 70 years ago with only Jimmy Carter remaining from the original group, these guys continue to provide joyfull uplifting music. This Soul/Gospel/Jazz influenced collection is helped along by being recorded in The Big Easy with assistance from Allen Toussaint,Hot 8 Brass Band ,the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and a hot rhythm section.
Any one who enjoys good music will enjoy this recording.
