Thread Name: American Revolutionary Songs
Subject: RE: American Revolutionary Songs
An old (1956) recording "American Songs of Revolutionary Times" (Olympic Records 6123) has been reissued as part of CD by LaserLight (CD 12 180, 1993) called American Songs of Revolutionary times and the Civil War". The Revolutionary material is a group of stories and songs performed by Richard Chase (author & folklorist), Paul Clayton and Jean Ritchie. There are extensive liner notes on the record but absolutely nothing on the CD including performers names. I have no idea who does the Civil War material, but it is of lower quality.
