Voices Only A Cappella: The Best College Acappella on One Album!
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 2008 has arrived! The CD album is for sale now including 36 tracks.
It can be purchased directly from Voices Only for $17 (plus S/H).
Another year, another record number of submissions! So many great choices, in fact, that Voices Only has expanded yet again, this time to 38 songs on 2 CDs, on what will be the best Voices Only yet. Without further ado, the brand new track list for "Voices Only 2009"!
