Tom Glazer - A Treasury of Civil War Songs Sung by Tom Glazer

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, while historian Patrick Warfield�s liner notes take us deeper into the history that made the songs. 58 minutes, extensive notes, historical photos.
