Editorial Reviews
Civil War Times Illustrated, March 1999
"Let's you hear the real sound of a time and place... Artful performance done with understanding."
Banjo Newsletter, September 1998
"Some of the best old-time minstrel sounds I've heard... Their interpretation is excellent. I highly recommend it!"
Civil War News, December 1998
"This CD is a hoot! ...it's a good thing there are no grooves on the CD to wear out."
Customer Reviews
it's pretty good
Very good musically and very accurate to the period. Kind of hard to listen to the songs though in light of the times, that's all.
Oh Lud!
I found this recording while searching the web for additional lyrics to Ol' Dan Tucker to sing for my granddaughter. She now prefers the singing of the 2nd SCSB to mine. I've forgiven her for that.
The musicianship on this CD is adequate, with Marty Groody's whistle and fife playing being very good. To my ear, the lead vocals and harmony are very well done, their voices perfect for this genre. The song selection is a wonderful representation of songs from the Civil War era, all played and sung in authentic period style. The 2nd SCSB's strongest suit is that they play and sing the songs with great affection and passion. Their versions of Southern Soldier, Dixie's Land and others are stirring and not to be missed. I really like it when artists pack the maximum music, time wise, on a CD. The running time for this disc: 73+ minutes!
Southern Soldier
By far this is one of the most superb Civil War Period music. Listing to the title track southern soldier brought tears to my eyes, thats all i have to say
