Music reviews of Songs of the Civil War
Music Review: Wonderful Music
Rating: 5 Stars
I have several "authentic" Civil War CDs, but I don't seem to listen to them very often, whereas I listen to this one over and over. Some of the songs are played here in an unexpected way--often more slowly than you'd expect. I've found myself humming several of these songs lately, and it is because I've listened to this CD so much. I appreciate the way Jim Gibson treats these melodies. This CD makes me appreciate how timeless popular songs and folk songs can be.
Description of Songs of the Civil War
Melodies last for generations, and these powerful songs from over a hundred years ago still touch us deeply. These are melodies our forefathers sang as they went to battle, and that their families sang as they dealt with the tragic results of the war.Jim Gibson's approach to these songs is restrained and respectful, but always interesting. Most of these selections are quiet and pensive, but some are more rousing. In this, Jim's ninth CD for Hickory Cove, you'll hear his unusual ability to blend different styles of music while never straying far from the melody.
One listener wrote us that "other pianists play all the notes, but there is no life. Jim Gibson brings warmth to each song."
Our goal is for this recording to introduce these important melodies from our past to new listeners, and to give those who are interested in the Civil War a new artist to enjoy.
Jim says, "I've outgrown the need to play a thousand notes per second--now I'm looking for the beauty of the melody, and there is a lot of that beauty in these songs."
We think that sums up "Songs of the Civil War."
