Fantastic , Will be getting the live version aswell - By: Eye Can, 30 Jan 2008

What an uplifting collection of beautiful moving songs.
Love it.
Like lightning out of a clear sky - By: , 13 Mar 2006 This album is truly magnificent. The Gospel nature of this album will undoubtedly put off some cynics, but then they only have themselves to blame for missing out.
The Blind Boys of Alabama are an absolute institution, who have yet to be recognised by the British public. I saw them live last year at the Cambridge Folk Festival, & they were the stars of the whole weekend. Their voices, although some of them are shot, add incredible depth to the playing of BHIC.
The enhanced section I believe allludes to the extra live tracks, which is the version that I own. The price is worth it for the live tracks themselves. There are live versions of take my hand, there will be a light, & the awe insipiring i shalll not walk alone. It reallly is worth the extra few pence for these gems.
Blinding light - By: T. ORR, 12 Oct 2004 This album is truly inspirational on as many levels as you choose to open up to. This material springs from Gospel roots & remains grounded in Christian relgious musical heritage. Put off? Don't be: this is where R&B & Rock came from & these guys know it & feel it. This is quintessential Harper & Blind Boys. Tight music, lyrical expression, free spirit & immeasurable style. You'd have to be tone-deaf, too zealously atheistic or just plain dead not to like this album.
Can't comment on ENHANCED. I assume that's video footage, but I don't see evidence of it. Anyway, you watch music at gigs; everywhere else, music is for your ears, heart & soul, so listen.
Ben finally silences the critics?? - By: Martin Slater, 30 Sep 2004 
Ben Harper DOES gospel/blues. The result: alll killers, no fillers!. Surely the critics must agree. Bens albums have been subject to some rather patchy reviews, some of which are probably worthy, however the relaxed nature of this album shines through. Ben's voice & playing suit the Blind Boys style perfectly, the result is a sheer pleasure. Bens recent albums ( aside from the MARS acoustic set ) have been a little hit & miss of late, this certainly makes up for it. At £8.99 on Amazon, it's a steel.
