Editorial Reviews

Review

"...brings together a great many songs that might otherwise be difficult to track down...the words are crystal clear throughout." -- New York Times

"Keith and Rusty McNeil and their talented friends bring about an authentic feel to the music. All the old favorite themes are here." -- Victory Review

... a six-volume series that traces the history of our country through song. From the tunes of 17th century Colonial America to those of the labor movement in the 1980s, this is the music sung by the common people to express their feelings, fears, frustrations and fanciful parts of their lives...A dramatic lesson on the role music has played...both in recording history and in uniting common attitudes...enjoyable listening...a delightful and timeless look at our past. -- Deseret News, December 18, 1994

I purchased Songs of the Civil War and liked it so well I bought the whole set. I use it to help teach History to my kids and expose them to different kinds of music.
