Grammy-winning, African-American female quintet Sweet Honey has deep musical roots in in the sacred music of the black church--spirituals, hymns, gospel, as well as jazz and blues. Organized in 1973 by Cordell Hull Reagon, Sweet Honey has released 18 albums, and "Women" celebrates their 30th anniversary with predominantly original songs of freedom, activism and spirituality. 18 powerful songs: the title tune, "Fly," "The Voice of the Innocent," "Give the People their Right to Vote!," "Georgia Red Clay II," "Ballad of the Sit-Ins," "Let Us Rise In Love," "22 Hours In The Day," "Solid Gold II," "Somebody Prayed Me Over," "Ballad of Harry T. Moore," "That Awful Day Will Surely Come," "Nyoka Boko II," "Prayer At The Crossroads," "African Oasis II," "Yes It Was," "Come Unto Me" and "We Want The Vote! Chant." There is some non-vocal percussion in the driving, hypnotic African rhythms on songs like "Somebody Prayed Me Over." Colorful,extensive full-color liner notes give us lyrics, history and photos of this amazing group as they bring us another strong, moving, thought-provoking album!
