This is just a great album. Got to love the power of gospel music; even if you're not a believer, it just gets you happy. Great soul tunes, great pipes, very simple and sincere, no airs here. Holy good crap! She's covering “War Pigs”! Great job, too. That was unexpected. Harmonica works really well here in place of Iommi's growling guitar. Total change of pace then with a bluegrass tune and then a beautiful ballad before we finish up with, well, another ballad, but just as beautiful. An almost perfect album.

**** it: a perfect album. Just superb. Miss it at your peril.
