Free Music Notes for SOUTHERN SOLDIER: Favorite Camp Songs of the Civil War
Free Music Review: A Musical Masterpiece!!
Hit: 5 Stars
WOW!!!!! Just found this in Gettysburg.The Instrumentals are incredible!! The Fiddle ( Fred Ewers) and Irish Whistle/ Fife( Marty Groody ) blend together as one instrument. The Military Drum (John Frayler)and Bones/Bass/ Tambo (Bob Beeman) really kick it up a notch!!
Fred Ewers "I'm a Good O'L Rebel" is a masterpiece. Together with the Fretless Banjo and Vocals..... this is an Historical Gem !! Well done ye boys of the 2nd!!
Free Music Review: 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.Free Music Review: 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!
