Bernice Johnson Reagon.Sweet Honey In The Rock proves once again that
the human voice is a beautiful instrument. This famous a cappella group,
now 20 years old, is thankfully Still On the Journey. Steeped in the
spiritual and other African-American traditions, Still On the Journey
offers a full banquet of sound. The songs are of love and living, and of
struggling and dying. Sweet Honey sings, in inspired harmonies, gospel,
folk and rap songs, all with a message of unity and freedom. The
scholarly attention that Sweet Honey shows in this recording is only
superseded by the utterly natural arrangements. ~ MusD
