Music reviews of Go Tell on the Mountain
Music Review: sounds like a tribute album - not good for Xmas, though
Rating: 2 Stars
I have no doubt that the BBA could produce a solid gospel Christmas album. This isn't it.
The concept here was to put a variety of well-known pop, rock, folk and global music performers in front, and keep the BBA more "in the back." The result is a very uneven, unfocused effort that comes across as a alt. tribute to the Christmas music tradition. On one level it is, well, sort of interesting (Me'Shell Ndegeocello doing Come all ye Faithful) but then it strays away from the wider meanings of Christmas, at the expense of becoming a holiday exercise or experiment for its own sake.
Aaron Neville belly flops with Joy to the World as does Michael Franti with Little Drummer Boy. There are a few gems, however, and I commend In the Bleak Midwinter and Born in Bethlehem - buy them singly if you can.
Description of Go Tell on the Mountain
This Grammy winner is a perennial favorite, selling throughout the year -- because it's the hippest 'holiday' album ever made. The septuagenarian Gospel greats enlisted a star-studded gallery of guests -- including Aaron Neville, Chrissie Hynde, Mavis Staples, Michael Franti, George Clinton, Robert Randolph, Tom Waits, Solomon Burke, Shelby Lynne -- winning their third consecutive Grammy in Traditional Soul Gospel.Exceptional in every way, the Blind Boys of Alabama's Christmas record is a must have for Christmas music fans of all ages and musical persuasions. Go Tell It on the Mountain features the legendary gospel group singing with some of the most renowned artists in the music world who share gospel, R&B and folk roots. Thirteen tracks deep, every song is a gift, offering such compelling new arrangements and dynamic vocal performances of traditional hymns, carols and mistletoe pop standards that some will seem like you're hearing them for the first time. With guest stars such as Solomon Burke, Tom Waits, Shelby Lynne, Chrissie Hynde, Aaron Neville, Me'Shell Ndegeocello, the immortal jazz man Les McCann and others, it's impossible to list all the highlights. Suffice to say, the blistering blues-funk rendering of "Away in a Manger" with George Clinton, Robert Randolph and the Blind Boys, along with a smoldering duet of "The Christmas Song" by Shelby Lynne and Clarence Fountain from the group, will have you shoutin' from the mountaintop again and again. --Martin Keller
