### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amen to anyone giving this five stars
*by B***L on 28 December 2008*

If this is still available, buy it. Expensive, yes. Worth it? Oh, yeah. Spiritual / religious music being one of the richest veins of North American music to mine, the choices made by the wonderful Dust-To-Digital compilers here out-class Harry Smith's Anthology on a number of levels. Not to diss Harry, but he favoured a more limited selection, and had his tongue in his cheek at times. With Goodbye, Babylon it's all good, all interesting, and highly listenable. I readily compiled a single disc from this box-set that I've had on medium rotation for years - a poignant, wistful, joyous celebration of life harsh with work, tragedy, poverty and uncertainty. One day I'll rot and make compost, but right now I'm raising a fist against a vengeful god - ain't no grave gonna hold this body down!
