LED ZEPPELIN Bass Legend Featured On Sacred Harp Compilation
September 16, 2008, 16 years ago
According to Pitchforkmedia.com, Awake, My Soul has been around for a couple years now, but the documentary about the old American folk/religious music known as Sacred Harp singing - which you may have caught on Pitchfork.tv a few weeks back - is just now getting a deluxe soundtrack to accompany it (not to be confused with the previously issued companion CD).
The soundtrack is a double-disc affair. The first disc, Awake, My Soul: The Story Of The Sacred Harp, features recordings of traditional Sacred Harp songs from rural Georgia and Alabama.
The second disc, Help Me to Sing: Songs of the Sacred Harp, is apparently the very first collection of modern adaptations of Sacred Harp songs. Featured on this disc are Sacred Harp reinterpretations from John Paul Jones (LED ZEPPELIN) among others.
