Customer Reviews:

Awesome.......2005-08-10

This was my first purchase of a 2nd SC cd, and it did not disappoint. The talent displayed throughout transports you back to the 1860s.

Fascinating Musical Heritage.......2005-03-13

This cd from 2002 is 2nd South Carolina String Band's most recent. I have listened to "Old Folks at Home" on repeat at least 50 times now, and am listening to it as I write this review. I've yet to tire of it. Clearly this is what's known as "timeless appeal." Somehow these songs still stir us today, despite our constantly changing tastes.

2nd South Carolina String Band lives and breathes the times of the Civil War and the music that accompanied it. Their enthusiasm is inspiring, and their interpretations are authentic and catchy. These songs give us a peek into a part of our history that is too rarely examined. The liner notes are especially helpful in providing background to melodies you may be familiar with, but whose origins are not so well known.

Favorites of mine, besides "Old Folks at Home," are "De Blue Tail Fly" (a truly haunting tune) and "Down in Alabama" (a real sing-along toe-tapper!).

I hope more cd's are to come!!

The Music Comes Alive.......2004-12-31

Have you ever heard Burl Ives sing "Blue Tailed Fly?" My, my, my, are you in for a rude awakening if you hear the 2nd North Carolina String Band do their rendition. Some people may be offended that a musical group would be politically incorrect and sing "Negro Minstrel" era songs. If we do then we will have to erase all of Stephen Foster's tunes from our music archives and collective memory. With him will go "Hard Times Come Again No More" and many American classics. The 2nd South Carolina has the fortitude and talent to make these songs come alive. They define American Civil War era music. No one comes close.

A living national treasure.......2004-07-11

Too often, musical groups that play a traditional genre grow stale after a few years. The 2nd South Carolina String Band, however, continues to raise the bar for the minstrel style with its latest and best CD, "In High Cotton," which I recommend wholeheartedly. Whether you are a long time fan of traditional camp music or a newcomer seeking to learn, this is the recording to purchase and enjoy.

Some of the best period music you will ever hear.......2004-02-24

I happen to own all of the 2nd south's music, and this may be there best effort yet, strong words considering how good there other cd's are. wether you enjoy listening to civil war period music as I do, or you just want to hear what music was like back in the 1860's, this cd has a great selection of songs played by very talented musicians who seem to have gone back in time and captured the feeling of the nation in song .
