Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

A combination of two LPs--1982's Good News and 1989's We All...Everyone of Us--Breaths provides a passionate, rich, politically charged perspective on Sweet Honey's early work. The group shows their emotional range and intellectual convictions as clearly in this nascent work as in later releases. From the philosophical lullaby "Breaths" to the declarative civil-rights offering "Ella's Song," this album serves as a forum for these brave-voiced women to unfold their ideals and passions with wisdom and care. Aside from the powerful original compositions, Breaths contains a handful of tender, musically ripe arrangements of other people's poetry: June Jordan's "Oughta Be a Woman," Kahlil Gibran's "On Children," and Birago Diop's title track. Each illustrates the group's ability to draw music out of words as well as set words to music. --Sally Weinbach

    5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, powerful a capella singing.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 10, 2018
    This is some of the most beautiful, powerful a capella singing I have ever heard. I once owned it on vinyl and was pleased to find it on cd. I found myself musing that many of Bernice Jonnson Reagon's powerful songs are as relevant today as when they were written in the 70's. However even if you only buy this cd for the knock your socks off version of "By the waters of Babylon" this mixture of live and recorded tracks is still an absolute bargain which I highly recommend.
