Music reviews of Angel Band
Music Review: Devotional masterpiece
Rating: 5 Stars
Angel Band is one of Emmylou Harris' more obscure albums, a flawless gem of mostly traditional songs where her spiritual expression reigns supreme. Backed by acoustic and bass guitars, dobro, fiddle, mandolin, mandola and viola, the vocals are particularly impressive with the tenor of Vince Gill, the baritone of Carl Jackson and the bass of Emory Gordy interweaving perfectly with Emmylou's gorgeous voice.
It opens with the stirring Where Could I Go But To The Lord, which is followed by the title track, which is thematically similar to the well-known Swing Low Sweet Chariot. The third one, the rhythmic If I Be Lifted Up, reminds me of her version of Orphan Girl on the album Wrecking Ball, in its comforting lyrics. The non-traditional When He Calls with its lovely instrumental flourishes is a definite highlight. The lilting We Shall Rise is another, together with If I Be Lifted Up the most uptempo numbers among these generally slow ballads.
There is seamless continuity between the traditional and the non-traditional compositions like Someday My Ship Will Sail and The Other Side Of Life. The album concludes with the uplifting When They Ring Those Golden Bells. Angel Band is an album of tender and yearning hymns, mournful and comforting at the same time. Those who love Emmylou's bluegrass excursions like the album Roses in the Snow, will love this neglected classic.
