Voices Only is an annual two-disc collegiate a cappella compilation album comprised of selected excellent tracks released by various collegiate groups from around the World. A new Voices Only CD is produced and released at the beginning of each school year, and includes songs recorded, mastered or released during the previous year. Groups who have appeared on the compilation include such acclaimed and award-winning ensembles as the Dartmouth Aires, USC Sirens, Duke Pitchforks, Tufts Beelzebubs and Stanford Harmonics.
Voices Only includes not just the "best" a cappella tracks, but the best mix of songs, each chosen for a different and specific reason (including soloists, production, arrangements, innovation, etc.).
Voices Only was founded by two musical veterans, Brock Harris and Corey Slutsky. The duo noticed there was such a plethora of high quality a cappella being produced on a yearly basis that single-disc compilations were no longer big enough to accommodate that quality.
2007 was another year of stellar submissions for the Voices Only annual collegiate a cappella compilation album. Each year the submissions get better, and each year the selection process and decisions get tougher. This year was no exception, as we had to leave off several fantastic tracks in order to squeeze on as many songs as we could! We are very pleased with the 34-track "Voices Only 2007," and we hope the majority of you will too. Without further ado, we are excited to announce the Voices Only 2007 Track List:
