This deluxe reissue brings back one of Strata-East Records' most compelling family collaborations, featuring legendary bassist and composer Bill Lee alongside his siblings Cliff Lee, Grace Lee Mims, and Consuela Lee Moorhead. Originally recorded over three days in December 1973 at Minot Studios in White Plains, New York, A Spirit Speaks represents a deeply personal musical statement from the Lee family collective known as The Descendants of Mike and Phoebe.
The album showcases the family's remarkable range, from Grace Lee Mims' breathtaking vocal performance on "Take My Hand, Precious Lord" to compositions that touch on both intimate family moments and broader social themes like "Attica." This stunning reissue captures the spiritual depth and musical sophistication that made the original 1974 release such a treasured entry in the Strata-East catalog, offering both longtime collectors and new listeners a chance to experience this outstanding album in pristine sound quality.
