The songs from 'Raise Your Voice!' come from two live benefit concerts from 2003. Acclaimed filmmaker and Emmy winner Stanley Nelson documented Sweet Honey's activities in this, Sweet Honey's 30th anniversary year, and this CD is the soundtrack to that film. It features 22 favorites such as 'I Remember, I Believe,' 'Joan Little,' 'In The Upper Room with Jesus,' 'In the Morning When I Rise,' 'Denko,' 'The Women Gather,' 'Run,' 'Come Unto Me,' 'Old Ship of Zion' and 'Movin' On.' 'Ballad of the Broken Word/Give the People Their Right to Vote!' features SH's collaboration with Toshi Reagon (daughter of founder Bernice Johnson Reagon) and her band Big Lovely. All other songs are a cappella, with occasional tamborine and light percussion. 'Raise Your Voice!' puts us in the audience to experience this inspirational, soulful, powerful music from these a cappella legends!
