专辑简介

Oakland Tribune Review: It is a stunning work that speaks of inspiration, healing, and transformation by surrendering to one's inner call. The book (Let My Soul Surrender: Grace Notes of a Journey) also gives listeners valuable insight into Beckwith's creative process in writing each song. Tammerlin Drummond

Without a doubt this is Rickie's greatest work. For musicians: meet Parliament Funkadelic's guitarist, Ricky Rouse on the title track and throughout the CD; meet legendary James Gadson on Drums when Ndugu Chancler is not playing. Meet BBC's Jazz Album of the Year winner, Georgia Anne Muldrow as the supporting vocals arranger and singer; meet Sekou Bunche, Miles Joseph, Ming Freeman and Diva Gray in pristine performances that touch the soul. But none touch as deeply as Rickie Byars Beckwith herself, with solo piano & vocals on A Mighty Gift. Rickie BB as she is affectionately known, hit it the ball out the ball park with this CD and Book that thousands are find fascinating to purchase over and over again as gifts for their family and friends. Favorites so far have been: Mabel, In God's Hands, A Mighty Gift, Move in The Right Way, Main Line and of course the the title track, Let My Soul Surrender. Get the whole darn album. It's so worth it and you will be so glad that you did.
