Liner Notes:

These are some of my favorite tunes from American musical history. Beautiful traditional melodies like Shenandoah and Beautiful Brown Eyes, fun romps like Cindy and Old Joe Clark, cowboy songs like Red River Valley and My Horses Ain?t Hungry, gritty bluesy songs like Erie Canal, songs by American composers like Stephen Foster and Edward MacDowell, and hymns from Southern Harmony. I hope you enjoy them!
