A 2 CD set made up of the soundtrack for the acclaimed Sacred Harp
documentary Awake, My Soul: The Story of the Sacred Harp and "Help Me to
Sing" compilation of artists performing their own arrangements of
Sacred Harp songs. The Hintons wanted to put together a soundtrack for their film that
would provide an introduction to the songs of The Sacred Harp, and also
they wanted to make the songs accessible for a new audience. They tapped
an amazing list of artists to contribute to the project, including John
Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin (who duets here with Rayna Gellert of Uncle
Earl), Doc Watson, Elvis Perkins, Jim Lauderdale, Murry Hammond (of Old
97s), Danielson, Richard Buckner, The Innocence Mission, Rick Moody
(author of Garden State and The Ice Storm), Woven Hand, Mac Powell
(Third Day) and more.
