Many slave spiritualssongs such as Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, Michael, Row the Boat Ashore, and Go Down, Moseshave become interwoven into the fabric of American culture. For centuries these deeply moving songs were sung by slaves as they worked in the fields. In 1871, six years after the end of slavery, a group from Fisk University known as the Jubilee Singers toured the United States and abroad, raising money for their bankrupt school and, more important, bringing slave spirituals to the attention of a wide audience. This engrossing account, illustrated with archival prints and photographs and appended with the words and music to seven songs, tells the inspiring story of the Jubilee Singers and reveals spirituals to be an invaluable and unique history of American slavery.

I was excited to have this album, but the sound quality isn't great. It feels dated, and some tracks sound muffled. I expected better from such an important piece of history. Not what I was hoping for.

Mixed feelings on the recordings
While the singing is stunning, I felt some tracks were a bit too slow for my taste. The arrangements are lovely, but I was hoping for a more upbeat selection. It’s a decent listen overall, though.

Great for understanding history
I bought this album to learn more about the spirituals and the cultural impact of the Jubilee Singers. It’s fascinating! The music is beautiful, but I wish there were more background notes about each song.
