Entertainment Reviews:
Living Blues - p.66
"Stevenson's emotion-charged, unpolished performance of 'If It Had Not Been For Jesus' is the disc's most compelling selection....Stevenson executes powerful melismas and sustains with aplomb..."Mojo (Publisher) - p.100
4 stars out of 5 -- "16 performances by ordinary people singing extraordinarily, with total engagement and honesty, rough, ready and rip-roaringly righteous, thrilling and moving..."Record Collector (magazine) - p.100
4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he Jones Sisters' own 'Talk With Jesus' is a masterwork in beautiful harmonising. It's further proof that Daptone is one of the most exciting and innovative soul labels in existence today."Clash (Magazine) (p.106) - "[S]tick with it; the warmth and soul of the singing shines through and make this an essential listen."
URB (p.84) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "These songs are filled with intensity and drama....Tales of individual spirituality manifest throughout....The compilation succeeds because at its core it is 100% real music."
Signal To Noise (p.75) - "Spirituality and music have been intricately linked in many ways across many of the world's cultures, but in Como, Mississippi the connection seems especially solid, direct, unassailable and irresistible."
