The biggest hits of the 50's and 60's... 1850's & 60's, that is. A wide range of authentic popular music from the time of the Civil War done in the original style.
Bio / Background
Angel Band is an eclectic collection of mid 19th century songs. These were songs found over a few years of digging through university library files, thousands of pieces of sheet music and scores of songbooks published before 1865.
The CD has no overall theme, but a large part of it is presenting songs that are known today in a different format. For example, the title song is noted in the novel Cold Mountain as being from the 1870's, yet it is on the Ken Burns Civil War Soundtrack. Burns selects music by the feeling of the song, and not always by historical context, so the inclusion of this song in his sound track means little. It turns out that the song was originally published in 1860 as The Land of Beulah, with only minor melody changes. So the song is presented here in its 1860's format. Wayfaring stranger too is played as it was written in Cabin and Plantation Melodies, published in 1873, songs collected by Thomas Fenner from the slaves.
