ACAPPELLA CD RECOMMENDATIONS

T_Bone,

"I second the Fairfield Four, but would suggest that "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray" is more 'accessible' (Standing in the Safety Zone is classic but it sounds as if it is mostly recorded off old 45s and while it's great gospel, the recording quality of CHNP is MUCH better)."

You might want to listen (Safety Zone)again. Only the first track, intentionally, sounds like an old, scratchy record. The rest provides absolutely astounding, you are there, sonics. I also feel the song selection is stronger.

Narrod, it wouldn't be the first time my recollection has failed me and won't be the last. I will dig it up and put it on tonight and see what's what. Thanks!

Rushton hit the nose on the head. Those are my top five as well, in that order.

Hmm, and when I say 'nose on the head', I mean 'nail on the head'. Amazing.

To try music of this century give the early works of The Nylons and The Bobs a listen. The Bobs do alot of covers as so do The Nylons but The Bobs do interject some humour in their songs and they do write original material.
