Review

A tribute to the bravery and dedication of the people involved in the Underground Railroad, 1998's Steal Away features Kim & Reggie Harris' stirring performances of songs about slavery. Most of the album consists of traditional freedom songs like "Oh Freedom," "No More Auction Block for Me," "Let Us Break Bread Together," "Go Down Moses" and "Now Let Me Fly," all rendered with deep emotion and sensitivity. As usual, the duo's vocal talents breathe new life into these important songs, making Steal Away a collection with historical and emotional impact. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
