Review by Kathy Strauss

The album Negro Spirituals by Young Preachers, Milestones, Sonja Sieber, and Ernst Sieber is a powerful collection of songs that captures the essence of the African American spiritual tradition. The album features a diverse range of styles and voices, from the soulful harmonies of the Young Preachers to the haunting melodies of Sonja and Ernst Sieber.

Each track on the album is a testament to the enduring power of the spirituals, with lyrics that speak to the struggles and triumphs of the human spirit. The songs are infused with a deep sense of faith and hope, and the performances are passionate and heartfelt.

One standout track on the album is "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," which features the soaring vocals of the Young Preachers and a driving rhythm section. The song is a stirring tribute to the power of faith and the promise of salvation.

Another standout track is "Wade in the Water," which features the haunting vocals of Sonja Sieber and a sparse, minimalist arrangement. The song is a haunting meditation on the power of baptism and the cleansing of the soul.
