While the debate rages in some quarters as to whether the United States is/was a Christian nation, it is beyond question that the Christian faith played a huge role in forming the ethos and culture of our country.
American Angels is a collection of a capella hymns and sacred music from various times in our history. Many of the songs you will recognize as old favorites, others you will hear for the first time. They span the spectrum of American denominationalism, from classical gospel to 18th-century psalmody from New England, and 19th-century shape-note songs from the rural South.
A really fascinating and compelling collection of music, and a glimpse into our collective Christian history. The singing is technically flawless and brilliantly performed; another masterful performance by the ladies of Anonymous 4.
