Great Music |
|
I am a huge Civil War buff. I do prefer actual type music form the Civil War, but I do find this CD by Dave Matthews very entertaining. Unlike previous reviews, I think this is a very good CD about the Civil War. I think Mr Matthew captured a feeling for the times in upbeat folksy way. |

Shades of Blue and Gray |
|
I will not buy a CD over the internet that I can not sample the songs first. Oh well, you lose. |

These songs are not written in the Civil War period |
|
The price is great, the audio quality is good and the words in the songs are inspiring. There's one glitch, however. These are not original songs composed and written by people who witnessed the Civil War, but are modern ones composed in the 20th century, thus losing most of the aesthetic value that one usually derives from the historical authenticity. |

Misleading title; average vocal quality |
|
A misleading title; should be subtitled "Modern Songs of the Civil War." Average vocal quality and heavy on modern acoustics. Customers looking for traditional authentic music of the US Civil War can ignore this CD. Disappointing.... |

An excellent presentation of little known WBTS songs. |
|
From the haunting "Road to Gettysburg" to the up-beat "Farewell to Ye", Mr. Matthews' presentation far exceeds his earlier efforts in War Between the State's music. I was especially delighted in "You will refuse the Line", honoring Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain and the 20th Maine as well as the brave Confederates, primarily Alabamans, who charged up Little Round Top after marching 18 hours. An excellent addition to any Civil War buff's musical library. |
