It's time for folks outside our corner of the world to find out what we already know - Misty River's voices will grab you, and keep you locked in until the last song on the disc is gone. When Plato once said of music that, 'It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind and flight to the imagination,' he could have been describing the effect of this excellent group of musicians.
