Music reviews of SOUTHERN SOLDIER: Favorite Camp Songs of the Civil War
Music Review: Happy music for troubled times
Rating: 5 Stars
The first time I heard these guys was at the battle of New Market in New Market Va. All I can say is WOW. If you have never heard this group, chances are you have never heard real minstrel music. This is not Bluegrass. This is so different from any music that we currently listen too that you will be amazed and spell-bound.
I own all of their music and I think this to be their best effort in both selection and quality. Without a doubt, this is the most popular in the re-enacter community. All of thier concerts and dances are finished up with Southern Soldier and Dixie's Land. It is a sight and sound to be cherished and tresured for a lifetime. This music has a gayety that can not be found in anything current.
Not only is this group outstanding at what they play but are musical historians as well. Much of the music performed has been taken right form origianal scores and sheet music, a real first class minstrel band. If you are looking for something completely different, this is it!!
Description of SOUTHERN SOLDIER: Favorite Camp Songs of the Civil War
SOUTHERN SOLDIER is a collection of songs and melodies which were well known to Southerners and Northerners alike; tunes that were a familiar and comfortable part of life in the years leading up to the War Between the States. Many of these compositions were written by the likes of Stephen Foster and Daniel Emmett, who were giants of the popular music industry of their day.Some of the titles, OL' DAN TUCKER, DIXIE'S LAND and ARKANSAS TRAVELER are still familiar to the modern-day ear. Other titles on this album, though not familiar to the eye, will be quickly recognizable to the ear. ALL selections on this album are performed on authentic instruments of the period and were chosen for the appealing nature of their rhythms and melodies. They are presented with as unique and individual a spirit as one might expect from a true Confederate camp band of the era.
Over the years since 1989, when the band was formed, we have made a concerted effort to grow in the music and the history of those times. This collection of songs and melodies that the soldiers brought with them from home to the war represents the fruit of that growth. It was and continues to be our intent as a group of musicians and living historians to try to capture the spirit and emotion of those tumultuous years. We believe that this album, SOUTHERN SOLDIER, has succeeded in that effort.
