Speaking of requests

Does anyone have any favorite choir and/or Gospel CDs? I'd love to find stuff for belting out in the car, but there's a lot out there that doesn't quite work. I LOVE King's College Choir, but their hymns are so beautifully arranged that they're hard to sing along with! I like a cappela, but the King's Singers are such precise Brits that their gospel album sounds weird to me. I like classical, and I like southern gospel, but I don't care for most "praise music" (Muzak for Christians?). I'm open to unfamiliar songs or styles.

Suggestions would be warmly welcomed.

    I like Eden's Bridge.. they do hymns in a Celtic/Irish style. Defnitely good for singing in the car!

    hmmm, let me check. I know there are some good choir CDs but I don't know if they are widely available.

    Anonymous 4 doesn't work for that either (although they have a good gospel CD).

    The Cox Family, if you know their songs, would be good. You might really like them. (they're bluegrass gospel)

    How about trying 'Ladysmith Black Mambazo' - I think they're fantastic!

    Thanks, ladies! These sound like good suggestions. (And Ladysmith Black Mambazo is definitely right up my alley!)

"So keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was."
