"Once again, the Blind Boys of Alabama prove it: Age don't mean a thing if you got that spiritual swing".

"In the music on Higher Ground, genres melt away, holiness and sanctity are synonymous with the grain of the human voice as it longs for the well of the heart's fulfillment; and genres are transformed into the quest for an expression that belies all artificial constructs and aspires to pure spirit. The union of the Blind Boys and Robert Randolph and the Family Band carries not only gospel, but all popular music that aspires to higher ground, with more grace and beauty than we had any right to expect".

"The Blind Boys of Alabama again deliver an astounding blend of the sacred and the profane on Higher Ground. Soul singers in the best sense of the term, they continue to produce timeless music that will inspire the faithful and call sinners to, if not repentance, then at least to the dance floor. Higher Ground is a majestic triumph".
