Product Description
===================

Kathy Mattea, Richie Havens, Waylon Jennings, John Hartford, Hoyt Axton, Ronnie Gilbert and other
distinguished artists perform authentic songs from the Civil War period.

Prompted by the success of 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.
