On this brilliant 1998 25th anniversary release, Sweet Honey explores new choral and small ensemble vocal textures. They raise their acappella voices to sing of many things: domestic violence in Run, the women's conference in Beijing, Greed, ecology and environmental justice in Chant and Battered Earth. Sometime is a love song to their fans; and in Bob Marley's Redemption Song and Motherless Chil', they address the impact of slavery on people throughout the Diaspora. It's even an enhanced CD-ROM, with further information and links to internet resources for the issues they deal with. Celebrate with them their remarkable 25-year performing history ... in which they have used music to inform, politicize, document, affirm, inspire, empower, and build community. Very highly recommended!
