"As an album, Sacred Soul of North Carolina, has the feel of a live gospel program, each group doing one or two selections and relinquishing the platform for the next artist. The album illustrates how vibrant the traditional gospel quartet sound is in the Carolinas".

"In a tiny pocket of the American Southeast, the classic sounds of gospel live on. 'Sacred Soul Of North Carolina" casts in amber a decades-long tradition. Recorded over eight days in a no-frills storefront in Fountain, North Carolina (...), the 18-song collection features area gospel groups that are locally celebrated but little known outside of their homeland, family singers by blood or by the faith that implicitly binds them".

"A terrific snapshot brimful of affirmative testifying and jubilant blessings. The Glorifying Vines Sisters, veterans of over 40 years, provide one of many rafter-rising high points with their stirring "Tell It All To Jesus". Vines' heavenly voiced niece Melody Harper delivers another with a spine tingling a cappella take on "Amazing Grace"".

"Sacred Soul of North Carolina is an audio document of the current state of a fascinating genre. An early 2020 cultural excursion by Music Maker Foundation's Tim Duffy and record label head Bruce Watson yielded both new recordings - showcasing the stirring talents of 11 sacred soul artists - and a companion documentary film, set for release later this year. The album's assortment shows that - in North Carolina, at least - today's gospel is informed by myriad other styles while maintaining its core values".
