Customer Reviews:
not to great.......2007-04-04
We were disappointed with this CD, but for the price I guess we can't expect much. I didn't care for the new style presentation of the songs. I like a more traditional rendering.
Not so bad, 100 tunes for 4$.......2005-06-22
I red the comments of two other people who have bought this 4 CD BOX SET and it is not really so bad. I will even add that there are some excellent tunes. However, I must agree with the fact that few tunes seem to have been recorded 40 or 50 years ago, mainly when you hear the scratches of an old turntable but it is just 2 or 3 tunes. Furthermore, if you do not know American music, it is a good BOX SET to buy if you consider that you received 4 CD for 4$ including 100 tunes. On these 4 CD, I have heard some orchestration that I have never heard before and I consider that they are different but interesting. Any way, after hearing these 100 tunes, you will say to yourself that you like this tune, this other tune, this other tune and so on and you will be able to buy a more expensive CD with the tunes that you like. However, I have bought many CDs in the last few weeks and as you know, there are always some tunes that you like and some tunes that you do not like on every CD that you will buy. So, don't buy it at 25$ but at 4 or 5$ dollars, it is a very good choice for 100 tunes.
You get what you pay for........2004-07-04
You get what you pay for. The singers put their own spin on the singing of each song. If you didn't hear the words you would not recognize some of them. Even some of the music sounds like a bad recording of music played on a turntable. Definitely not worth the price.
Now I know why there were no song samples to listen to ..........2004-07-04
I wish this review had been here when I was thinking of purchasing it. I guess you get what you pay for. If you are thinking of buying this, you are better off recording your own CDs (or at least buying one that you can listen to a sampling of the songs). This album includes songs that were mere recordings of the songs playing on an old record player. It's almost so unbelievable that it is funny.

Average.......1999-05-03
This CD is only average as a whole. It's selection of music includes most of the great traditionally American anthems and songs, but totally ignores others. The music was mostly too loud to my ears also, and I did not like the modernist renditions of some of them. "America The Beautiful" in particular was far too heavy handed and operatic to be enjoyable. Also, just so you know -- there are a total of 18 songs on this CD; I don't know why Amazon only lists 5.

Customer Reviews:
STEPHEN FOSTER'S AMERICA.......2006-12-06
I am so happy that I discovered this CD! These interpretations take me back to another place and time when parlor music dominated America's musical culture. In the 19th century, trained singers sang beautiful ballads by the family piano. Douglas Jimerson presents a time capsule with carefully crafted interpretations. By the way, the sound samples on amazon appear to be from an earlier release of the album, and the new recordings are more lovely than I expected.
Keep shopping for Stephen Foster!.......2002-06-05
If I may be blunt, I can't stand this album! Mr. Jimerson's voice is excellent. However, his operatic leanings undermine the spirit of Stephen Foster's music.
As for the arrangments, if Mr. Jimerson is going to keep the words "dere" (for "there") and "dat" (for "that") in the songs, then why exclude the word "darkies" in favor of "mama" and the like? My guess is that fans of Stephen Foster (who, when compared to other minstrel songwriters of his day, imbided the subjects of his songs with a great deal of dignity) are more interested in maintaining the purity of the songs than they are in achieving political correctness via 19th Century songs!
For my money, the Robert Shaw Chorale C.D. of Stephen Foster songs is much more enjoyable.
Jimerson Not Half Bad.......2002-02-08
These are earnest and heartfelt renditions of Stephen Foster songs that really deliver a period flavor, and nail Foster's emotions on the head. I can't believe that anyone could object to Mr. Jimerson's elision of currently offensive racial terms. There's a difference between "Massa's in de Cold, Cold Ground," which establishes a dramatic situation, take it or leave it, and race-specific epithets that might hurt somebody's feelings in the here and now. My only problem with Mr. Jimerson is that he tends throw these bizarre songs into the mix that have nothing to do with the themes of his albums -- like "He's Got the Whole World." Still, we should be grateful that this sensitive singer (and his fine, period-conscious musicians) are recording great 19th Century sentimental songs. I'd like to see him go even deeper into the literature of the time.
Timeless and Beautiful.......2001-08-01
Faithful renditons of great songs. Every American should know the words to at least half a dozen of these gems. I do not agree with reviewers who believe he should have included the original slurs....these "reviewers" should imagine themselves in Mr. Jimmerson's place, who was singing for a diverse crowd in our nation's capitol in 1990's America. Accuracy ("authenticity"?)is of course crucial, but it is absurd to demand that the performer sing these uncomfortable lines in this setting.
Politally Correct or Stupid?.......2001-02-28
The major thing wrong with this recording is the editing out of the word "darkies" which is like eliminating "cowboy" from western songs. If this guy is so sensitive, why include "Massa" which is a tribute to a slave master. Also, He's Got The Whole World In His Hand is generally attributed to the modern age.
If you want to hear a much better rendition of Foster, and other music of the period, try and find Thomas Hampson, "American Dreamer" and "An Old Song Re-Sung".

Byrd stays true to his country roots!.......2001-11-08
By now, it's no surprise that Tracy is a favorite of our whole staff. But, then again, we tend to think millions of cowboys and cowgirls share our opinion. With so many artists jumping on new trends, taking off their hats and throwing out the fiddle and steel, Tracy comes back even stronger with 'I'm From the Country, and I like it that way!' That's because Tracy Byrd is the real deal. His career has been growing at a nice steady pace. As the trends swing back and forth, artists like Tracy will still be there strong as ever.
This album shows a little bit more serious side to Tracy with several slow to mid-tempo love songs including Gettin' Me Over Mountains, I Wanna Feel That Way Again, For Me It's You and I've Got What It Takes. Back To Texas is also another classic lost-love song with one of the best fiddle solos ever recorded. It's short; but, hits you right in your heart.
Well, for the fifth time Byrd has made our Top 100 of All Time. This album would close a chapter in Byrd's career as the last full-length album for MCA Nashville. Next, Byrd finds freedom in a new label, producer and sound.
Editor, eCowboy.com
The finest Country album in years........2000-02-19
This offering from Tracy Byrd is without doubt the finestCountry album in years. The album kicks off with a typical bouncy opener about a man who gets over the struggles of life with the love of his wife. T he album progresses with Tracy Byrd in fine form on the ballad 'I wanna feel that way again'. At track 4 is what i consider to be one of the most beautiful ballads ever written 'For me its you'. This is a song about god given talents that each and every person on this earth has, for Tracy Byrd it is the Lady in his life. Track 8 features some of the best guitar work to come out of Nashville in some time. Tracy saves the best until last with the classic 'I'm from the country' This is the one song for me, that typifies country music, everytime i here it i cannot resist the temptaton to sing out every word along with its most tallented vocalist, this song will surely become the ultimate Country Music anthem. A brilliant album that deserves each and every one of the many plaudits it recieved from the Country Music press. Buy this album right away.
Very high quality modern country.......1999-02-02
Tracy Byrd's latest effort is a very strong one. It is just plain good country. He manages to stay true to his traditional Texas roots and add some occasional pop sensibilities and produce a solid CD. Top to bottom, very good, with a nice mix of ballads and faster tunes. If you like country, you will probably like this one.
It doesn't get any countrier than Tracy Byrd.......1998-08-24
I recently had the opportunity to work with Tracy Byrd at our local fair. He is truly one of the nicest people in the world. He is honest and sincere, just like his music. I would not only recommend this superb CD, but I would also encourage you to see him live in concert to truly appreciate this "country boy."
Tracy Byrd's finest - he just keeps getting better!!.......1998-06-15
This CD is Tracy Byrd's finest. His work has continually gotten better since his first CD. I was hooked from the first cut and haven't stopped listening to this CD since. Every song is a winner.

Customer Reviews:
The highest quality performance.......1999-03-13
The music on this recording presents a typical example of a semi-opera, popular in Britain in Purcell's time. Semi-operas were based on a dramatic spoken play, and were accompanied by "incidental" music (dances and masques). It is this incidental music that usually finds its way onto a disc. This recording follows this convention. What distinguishes this recording is its high quality. Collegium Musicum 90 and Richard Hickox are experts in baroque music. The soloists include the biggest names in English vocals. Even the two additional tenors, brought in to merely double the voices in two places, are not just anybody, but Mark Padmore and Ian Bostridge (!). That tells you something. The biggest highlights include the Wood-god duet in Act V of Dioclesian, and the soprano song "Since from my dear Astrea's sight" which is placed in an appendix because musicologists don't seem to know where exactly it originally belonged. This song, which seems to speak of a man's, rather than woman's, anguish over the lost love, concludes with the most wrenching words: "alas, with weeping eyes, And bleeding heart I lie Thinking on her whose absence 'tis That makes me wish to die." Isn't that beautiful?

Customer Reviews:
Good but not Great.......2005-08-14
The album is quite good, the musicians talented, but I have heard the same music on other CD's played a bit better. However I love any civil war music and will listen to this CD many times
The Best.......2003-02-22
This is probably the best and most authentic renditions of music from the era of the Civil War that you will ever hear. Forget the country music versions, if you want to hear the songs the way they would have sounded this is it. I cannot say enough about this album. For the true belivers.
