Kim & Reggie Harris - Get On Board! Underground Railroad & Civil Rights Freedom Songs, Vol. 2 (2007)

The second volume of this series establishes the enduring importance of music commemorating the Civil Rights struggle and the Underground Railroad, the network that helped slaves escape to freedom. Though this music may seem untimely in the modern era of equal rights, it remains a vital part of American history and a genuine celebration of African-American culture. Performers Kim & Reggie Harris, along with guest artists, tackle both familiar spirituals, such as "Oh Mary, Don't You Weep" and "Down by the Riverside," and more unusual compositions. The arrangements are largely straightforward yet emotionally rich; for instance, "Ballad of the Underground Railroad" features lovely banjo playing, while "Row de Boat" incorporates young rappers for a historically grounded contemporary update. The overall sound is distinctly gospel, performed in a stripped-down manner with authentic passion and a sense of jubilation that symbolizes freedom achieved.
