Music reviews of The Shapenote Album
Music Review: Not quite authentic.....
Rating: 3 Stars
Recently, I got interested in the Sacred Harp music, being a devoted fan of "old" country, western, blues and bluegrass, and bought this CD.
I must say I was disappointed because, well, this music is too polished, to perfect, too professional. It is as if a bunch of music majors and professional muscians got together and perfected shape note tunes for the modern ear.
I really enjoyed the Sacred Harp Singers at Liberty Church found on the Cold Mountain soundtrack. Granted, it is hard to find this "authentic" sound, and harder still for modern urban raised muscians to duplicate that sound. But if you really are looking for traditional, down-home, Sacred Harp music, this isn't the album for you. Yes, it's a brilliant piece of artistic recreation of an old style of singing, but it just doesn't sound true to it's roots, in my opinion.
