A Nation's Broken Soul

Product Description:
Artist and songwriter Dave Mathews is featured on this popular recording of Civil War songs.  It all began with his legendary recording of original Civil War songs on the CD Shades of Blue and Gray.  The success of the recording was so phenomenal his fans demanded more.  The result is this CD of authentic Civil War songs.  This collection features a fresh approach to such standards as Aura Lea and Shenandoah.  For the lover of historic tunes from the Civil War era this recording has become a "must have".  The musicianship is phenomenal and Dave is as at home with this material as he is with his own compositions.  The CD is also the soundtrack for the video of the same name.  A Nation's Broken Soul and Shades of Blue and Gray received a recommendation from the American Libraries Association.

Customer Reviews:

disappointing.......2001-07-25

The songs selected are okay, but not great. The singer's voice is thin and unexceptional. I became very tired of his voice early on -- and there is only one vocalist. The prelude is over-long and seems somehow pompous. I highly recommend "Songs of the Civil War" by Columbia, Various Artists, instead.

Very good!.......1999-07-02

I love it and my children like it too
