Hymns and Ballads
$15.00
Hymns & Ballads is an album of the Amidons’ favorites (shape note hymns, gospel from both black and white singing traditions, American and English ballads, and poems set to music by Mary Alice) in a variety of settings:
Peter and Mary Alice’s distinctively strong duo harmonies; the Amidon quartet that now includes Sam’s tenor that is a cross between Dock Boggs and Mike Waterson and Stefan’s profoundly deep bass; the Amidon/Armstrong Septet where the Amidon four are joined by the extraordinary singing family of Jennifer Armstrong and her two daughters Suzannah and Georgia Rose; and one Sydney Carter gem where Peter and Mary Alice are joined by Margaret Dale and Tony Barrand.
“It is wonderful, inspiring, moving, something I will doubtless listen to over and over again.”
“I think it’s your best so far.”
