    Madeira's Mercyland offers an ecumenism that reaches across subgenres to coalesce a community bound by both faith and music.

    Mercyland: Hymns for the Rest of Us hits its stride once it takes an old-school turn courtesy of the Carolina Chocolate Drops, who kick up some serious string-band dust with a cover of the traditional gospel number "Lights In the Valley."

    It's a reflective set, enlivened by joyous offerings from The Civil Wars and Carolina Chocolate Drops. [Feb 2013, p.75]

    This album brings together a diverse lineup of artists for a collection that promotes the message that God has more to do with love than religion.
