Like the Blind Boys, and few other groups, The Dixie Hummingbirds have been together since the 1920's. Gospel harmonies like these cannot be bred quickly, they take years, and that's what comes across in the Hummingbirds. This is rich deep music as Earthy as the dirt itself. Check out Space Ships. And remember, "It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice."
Figured I'd use this blog to catalogue my record collection. I'll be providing some technical information on the albums as well as my thoughts. My collection is non-genre specific. I keep the bulk of them alphabetized by Artist. However, I also maintain a section I refer to as the esoteric field, which contains unusual records, and artists I wouldn't remember the name of if they weren't in this category. The Classical and Compilation albums are also in separate sections.
