Two-disc collection of songs from the Civil War. The selections tell tales of fear, loneliness, exhaustion and triumph. Produced by Randall Poster. New takes on old songs; historian Sean Wilentz wrote the liner notes for the record. The collection features lesser-known songs, some by a songwriter Henry Clay Work. Work was a key member of a group of composers that wrote the history of the era through song. Ranges from old time folk to bluegrass. Really really good.
