Get On Board! Underground Railroad & Civil Rights Freedom Songs, Volume 2 (2007)

“You could consider this an important document of times and places, but it’s more than that – it's also a real celebration of African-American culture.”
All Music Guide 

From the highly informative CD booklet, which tells a story about each of the 14 songs, to the authentic and inspired performances on the disc, Get On Board is an excellent addition to any folk library. (5 stars)”
About.com

“Slave songs and other musical artifacts of early African America would certainly not disappear without the caretaking of Kim and Reggie Harris. It’s doubtful, though, that anyone would bring them so thoroughly to life. This husband-and-wife team performs these songs, though born from injustice, with a buoyant spirit that opens them to all listeners. Their secret is in the smiles – you can hear them in the shape of the words – that reflect their faith in the triumph of righteousness. . .”
No Depression

“This is historically important material, true to its traditional heritage, yet delivered with a fresh, lively contemporary folk flair. Recommended.”
CD Hotlist for Libraries
