45rpm 180g Vinyl LP!
Mastering by Steve Hoffman & Lacquers Cut by Bernie Grundman!

Executive producers: Craig and Diane Martin

Michelle Mayne-Graves and her Lifeline Quartet perform spirituals from the Civil War era and before, celebrating code songs written as reminders and guides for the Underground Railroad. These spirituals include hidden messages about maps, navigational strategies and timing for slaves to escape toward freedom in the Northern States and Canada.

In addition to directing choirs, performing spirituals and helping to coordinate and lead veterans singing groups, Michelle supervises a team and works as the RN Case Manager for Housing Homeless Veterans at the Veteran's Administration in Los Angeles. "If I Can Help Somebody" opens the album. This song not only honors Harriet Tubman, but reveals Michelle's generous heart as well. Michelle lives what she sings. Harriet Tubman is one of the better known heroes who escaped slavery herself and then worked as a "conductor" on the Underground Railroad, helping subsequent groups of people flee to the North.

"Wade In The Water", for example, serves as a reminder for escaping slaves of where to walk in the rivers to make it harder for dogs to scent people escaping at night. "I'm On My Way To Canaan's Land" talks about the route to Canada.

Slavery may be the worst chapter in the history of the United States. The scars from slavery may fade over the years but will never go away. It is marvelous and perhaps miraculous to witness the magnificent music created by an oppressed people during and despite this incredible suffering.

This is my favorite type of album: an audiophile masterpiece with extraordinary soundstaging and delicate ambience in a beautiful auditorium. You can use this LP to test for phase coherency in a system and in the listening room. You'll know when it is right. One can feel the audience too, all around you. And don't be surprised if you join in with the occasional 'Amen!' But more than the sound, this is gripping music beautifully performed by four people you will love if you do not know them already. The members of Lifeline Quartet sing from their hearts as much as from their four impressive pairs of vocal chords. These are songs of deep longing, yearning for freedom, eternal hope and the promise of transcendence.
-Mike Wechsberg, President of the Los Angeles and Orange County Audio Society
