Description
Tom Glazer A Treasury of Civil War Songs
Label : Smithsonian Folkways Recordings Released : 2011 Format : Flac Includes: pdf file of Album Notes.  Songs with a good tune and rousing lyrics both mirrored and inspired the events of the American Civil War (1861-1865). They told tales of battle, slavery, emancipation, victory, and defeat, and a century and a half later, they enshrine the shattered brotherhood of a nation and the lessons taught by war. Popular American folksinger Tom Glazer (1914-2003) knew a good tune when he heard one, and on A Treasury of Civil War Songs, Glazer’s crystal clear voice spins out classic songs that made history. Originally released in 1973 by mid-20th century folk icon Tom Glazer (1914-2003), 'A Treasury of Civil War Songs' revisits 25 of the Civil War's most memorable musical artifacts, including the Confederate's foremost rally cry, "Dixie," and George Frederick Root's iconic "The Battle Cry of Freedom." Glazer's 'A Treasury of Civil War Songs' consists of a remarkably rich variety. Glazer recorded borrowed songs with melodies originally conceived for other recordings ("John Brown's Body"), revitalized compositions from professional songwriters ("Tramp, Tramp, Tramp"), hemmed songs of humor ("Goober Peas"), and captured the political angst of Civil War songwriters ("We are Coming Father Abram"), assembling a diverse array of voices that truly embraces the spirit of the era.
