Thread Name: Songs of the American Civil War
Subject: RE: Songs of the American Civil War
Somewhere out there there is an mp3 recording of a group called Hardtack and Homespun doing songs of the Civil War. I have me own copy now ('cause I'm on it) and it has some historically accurate material. The recording isn't even as embarrassing as I'd thought it would be. I sing E Pluribus Unum all by my lonesome if you want to figure out which voice is mine. We recorded Hard Tack Come Again No More, Weeping Sad and Lonely, We Wait Beneath the Furnace Blast, Homespun Dress, Lorena, Song Of A Thousand Years, The Blue and the Gray (one of the most beautiful post- Civil War songs) and a few other items.
