my four favorite sacred harp recordings

I’ve posted a couple times now about Sacred Harp singing.

That discussion got some feedback from a friend of mine: I like that song, where can I get more of it?

So here it is: my four favorite Sacred Harp recordings:

  1. Alabama Sacred Harp Singers – Southern Journey, Vol 9: Harp of a Thousand Strings – All Day Singing From the Sacred Harp
  2. V/A – Awake My Soul OST
    Henagar-Union Sacred Harp Convention – New Britain, 45t
  3. V/A – I Belong to This Band: 85 Years of Sacred Harp Recordings
  4. Alabama Sacred Harp Singers – Southern Journey, Vol. 10: And Glory Shone Around – More All Day Singing From The Sacred Harp

They’re all pretty good and the recording quality is nice on all of them except some of the older tracks of 85 Years. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them.
