If this becomes a portal through which a new generation finds its way to the black- and country-gospel traditions of the 1930s-1950s, then Griffin and her all-star backers (Emmylou Harris and Shawn Colvin among them) will have earned their spots in music heaven. The Buddy Miller-produced sessions, which were recorded in a Nashville church, never sound overly reverential or affected. And her showcasing of the genre's many shadings is a great service. - Jerry Shriver >Download: Move Up, Little Fire, The Strange Man ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V13 #5 ********************************
