The obvious excitement over this release is the collaboration with Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Vusi Mahlasela, and of course the use of Bright Blue's South African classic, Weeping.
Besides the significance of using local artists, Groban is at his emotive best and soaring vocals deliver trademark Groban tones. But in terms of Weeping's poignancy, Tom Fox pips this superstar at the post. Herbie Hancock's fusion appearance on the finale is the climax.
