Keep
a Candle in the Window
Songs
of the Underground Railroad (c2001)
a
CD to benefit the PURE Center
$20
each
Keep
a Candle in the Window was recorded to benefit the Putnam
Underground Railroad Education (PURE) Center. The music presented is the songs
that slaves sang to pass on the hope of freedom through the Underground
Railroad. Liesta Walker's magnificent voice conveys the hidden
messages and the deep feelings of the slave songs. Laura Benton's sweet soprano
counters and compliments Liesta's.
The
title comes from the poignant poem written by Casey Bolitho when she was 12
years old. Casey embodies the essence of the community's young people who, once
exposed to the stories of the fugitive slaves' flight to freedom, begin to
understand how the Underground Railroad affected lives then, now, and for all
times. Chapa Johnson narrates "Keep a Candle in the Window," in
the song, Steal Away.
