Free Music Notes for Songs by Stephen Foster, Vol. 1-2
Free Music Review: Foster would love this
Hit: 5 Stars
I owned the original Nonesuch 33 1/3ds of these. A few of the comic ditties are missing here, but the glorious singing of Guinn and DeGaetani survives.
Foster made himself famous with folksy tunes starting with Oh Susanah. But Foster always wanted to become a more respectable upper class balladeer. He never realised that ambition, fiscally at least, as he was sold out by his publishers, and died abandoned by his family, alcoholic and alone in a New York skid row apartment.
Here is what Foster wanted to be. It's a never-was quiet, elegant middle class respectability, promoted on the eve of the Amercan cataclysm of Civil War.
Great stuff!
