5.0 out of 5 stars A living national treasure, July 11, 2004

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.

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 .

5.0 out of 5 stars "In High Cotton" Delivers, February 13, 2004

My only problem with this CD is I can not decide which track I enjoy the most. One day it will be "Blue Tail Fly" (Who knew it origially sounded like this?) The next day it will be "Angelina Baker/Angline the Baker". Then "Lemuel" or "Rosin the Beau" will catch my ear. I wish I had this difficulty with all the CDs I purchase. I am very pleased to have discovered this music and I highly recomend this CD to all.
