Compintmarket 1992 Eec Suppl4 95

This box set is the first overview of a life, a dream that is already an oeuvre: the dream of a singer who wanted only to be a voice in the service of the Lord, and who in spite of herself has become a star in the eyes of men and women.
Over the course of the three albums included here, the listener will follow the ascension of an artist in the years when she asserted herself as one of the great interpreters of traditional spirituals and gospel songs. This is a repertoire whose masterpieces date mostly from the 19th century, that period when Liz Mc Comb’s ancestors freed themselves from the chains of slavery through hope and through faith. In the last few years, without distancing herself from her roots, Liz Mc Comb has proven herself to be an enlightened composer, and her fourth album, "Time Is Now", is an indispensible addition to this trilogy.

Considered by many reviewers as her masterpiece, 1985's Hounds of Love is no less experimental from a production standpoint. Not only did she produce it herself, but for this album, stung by the huge costs she had run up hiring studio space for The Dreaming, she built a private 48 track studio near her home where she could work at her own pace.
