5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible musical rendering of an incredible book., August 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Songs From the Mountain (Audio CD)
I buy a lot of traditional old-time music and I read a lot. Cold Mountain is one of the best books I have ever read, and this CD is without doubt one of my favorites of all times. The musicians are all excellent and stay true to the tradition of the music of the era. And the liner notes bring the book back to life for me. I would recommend this without hesitation.

5.0 out of 5 stars I PLAY THIS CD CONSTANTLY, July 19, 2000
This review is from: Songs From the Mountain (Audio CD)
I loved the book, COld Mountain, and I love Tim O'Brien. A few years back, listening to Tim live in JohnnyD's, a Boston-area music club, I shared a table with another musician, Taylor Armiding, who said, "Tim just isn't wired like the rest of us." And he isn't: he's something special. Traditional music occasionally loses ground to the next new thing, but there is something special about music that rests on rich cultural heritage. Tim captured the music that must have been in Charles Frazier's head while he wrote his novel and wrote new music in that same spirit. We always need to remember where we came from and Tim -- certainly a man who lives in the present and who has written wonderful songs about the modern condition -- does that.

I bought this CD before I read the book. Both are tremendous! If you like old-time mountain music this is a must-have CD.
