Great Songs of America Box Set - Classic American Music Collection - Perfect for Home Listening, Road Trips & Gift Giving

This 3 CD collection is a wonderful assortment of American ballads, songs, and genres throughout our wonderful history. Disc One includes our British Heritage, Building of America, Irish Heritage, Sea Chanteys and Riverboat Songs, and Westward Migration. Disc Two contains the Civil War, The Cowboy, Badmen and Tough Women, Railroad and Coal Mines Songs. Disc Three begins with the Sweet Songs in the Parlor, Ragtime & Jazz, Country Blues, America Goes to War, and the Great Depression. I feel this wide assortment of songs is awesome. This collection is perfect for an American history teacher, a student, or any American who desires to hear our musical heritage. The Civil War period of song is perfectly captured with these songs: "Battle Hymn of the Republic," "Goober Peas," "The Girl I left Behind," "Lorena," "Dixie," "Yellow Rose of Texas," "Just Before the Battle Mother," and "When Johnny Comes Marching Home." These songs are a perfect mixture of northern and southern culture during the Civil War. This is a powerful collection of American musical history. While some collections do not include famous artists singing ballads of the past, Great Songs of America includes a wide variety of famous musical artists.
