From AudioFile

Morgan Freeman dramatically reads the story of a slave family's escape to freedom by way of the Underground Railroad. With just the right amount of change in vocal pitch and pacing, he effectively transports listeners as the family travels northward and makes them feel the dangers of the journey. Taj Mahal provides vocal and instrumental accompaniment using guitar, harmonica, banjo and mandolin which add authenticity. The bluesy tunes will echo in listeners's memories and are repeated without narration on the second side. The telling of classic family stories in audio format just doesn't get any better than this.
