Exciting harmonies

(3 out of 5 stars)
"Among the men's "quartets" I find them among the most interesting, however. If you like the Soul Stirrers and the Dixie Hummingbirds, you will probably like this one. I am anxious to compare one of the tracks to the same song recorded by the Fairfield Four. I find the Chosen's harmonies a bit more adventuresome and the overall style somewhat more relaxed, even raw, than the aforementioned groups. Maybe three songs on this album are sub-standard in recording quality and are therefore painful to listen to. Which is really too bad because they are excellent. They should have been cleaned up more before being released on CD. Unfortunately the Chosen did not record very much music, but what is here is excellent."
