Review
Angel Band is yet another fascinating left turn, an acoustic record comprised of country-gospel songs like "We Shall Rise, " "If I Be Lifted Up" and "Someday My Ship Will Sail, " performed with great subtlety and nuance. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi| Angel Baby [Original Soundtrack] (1997 Album by Original Soundtrack) | |
