Editorial Reviews

This two-hour, 36 track, musical journey down the Mississippi from the headwaters to the delta captures the power and diversity of American music in the late 20th century. The music, recorded between 1995 and 1997 in small towns and large cities along the river, reflects centuries of interaction and experimentation along America’s great waterway. 48-page booklet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful variety of music, November 28, 2000

This review is from: The Mississippi: River Of Song - A Musical Journey Down The Mississippi (Audio CD)
I don't normally write reviews, but since this great CD set has no review currently, I thought I'd make an exception. If you are passing by I urge you to give these tracks a listen. You'll find blues, gospel, rock, and various other tpyes of ethnic music. I've yet to play this to anyone who didn't like it. It's fun, it's moving and it's a great buy. Check out "Hilda the red-headed Swede".

5.0 out of 5 stars wide range of sounds, January 20, 2009
This review is from: The Mississippi: River Of Song - A Musical Journey Down The Mississippi (Audio CD)
Well like I said ths dc has a wide range of music.. It starts with American Indian and goes this way and that with tracks very diverse of the lands and people of the Mississippi. I enjoy this type of cd music cause nothing sounds the same. Shows how wide and talanted Americans are in the roots of music. It travels down to Lousiana to cajun with blues and country and gospel etc.all along the way.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hooky concept produces some good and bad Modern music, January 11, 2012
By 
J. Bynum (the southwest) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Mississippi: River Of Song - A Musical Journey Down The Mississippi (Audio CD)
The Mississippi River of Song / a musical journey down the Mississippi (Folkways): This 2 CD set is supposedly only one part of a various media presentation. I have only experienced this 2 CD set and so my review is based on it alone. The whole idea of Modern recordings being done by all sorts of bands that are supposed to represent the music found as you go down the Mississippi seems unmanageable to begin with, but the concept ultimately fails in these recordings. There are a few good songs here and there but the randomness of these performances are only mildly entertaining. The educational value of this set is completely dependent on someone explaining the `journey', which is not done within the albums themselves. No doubt the film of this project uses these songs well and perhaps again these CDs are here only to give the uneditied songs to those who have seen the film, but as an independent set of songs, this isn't very good. Three Stars
