Description

Listen to Wayne Erbsen’s moving performance of this historic Civil War song from his album Battlefield Ballads of the Civil War. Better than a dusty textbook, the songs on this recording reveal the heart-felt emotions of soldiers who endured America’s greatest tragedy. Performed with clawhammer banjo, fiddle and guitar. Pulitzer Prize winning historian James McPherson wrote of this album: “Wayne Erbsen sings these Civil War ballads as they would have been sung a century or more ago. The great strength of this album is its historical and musical authenticity.”
