Music reviews of Songs of the Civil War

Music Review: Addictive
Rating: 5 Stars

I thought this would be mildly interesting. Wrong. It's wonderful. A variety of songs beautifully performed and emotionally effective. Well worth the money whether or not you collect this kind of music. I don't, but I will listen to this over and over again. A great CD.

Description of Songs of the Civil War

Prompted by the success Ken Burns's popular Civil War documentary (which spawned its own soundtrack), Songs of the Civil War presents an eclectic assortment of contemporary performers tackling period pieces that date back to the War Between the States. Here's Sweet Honey in the Rock tackling the slave lament "No More Auction Block for Me," Judy Collins singing "Battle Hymn of the Republic," and Kate and Anna McGarrigle essaying the lovely (and very suitable) "Hard Times Come Again No More." Between performances by name artists (Kathy Mattea, Waylon Jennings, and Richie Havens among them), instrumentals performed by the U.S. Military Academy Band provide a sense of time and place. --Steven Stolder
