MCA Special Products'
Take My Hand, Precious Lord collects ten highlights from the recordings of
Clara Ward, including "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," "I Found the Keys to the Kingdom," "Only a Visit," "I'm Packin' Up," "Silver Wings," "You'll Never Walk Alone" and "When the Saints Go Marching In." It's unclear when these recordings were made, or how they were initially released, but the end result isn't designed for collectors -- it's made for casual fans who will enjoy this as an affordable sampler. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
