New CD Celebrates Abraham Lincoln's 200th Birthday!
Songs in the Life of Abraham Lincoln (Ballad of America Volume 3) |
.jpg)
This is the soundtrack to Abraham Lincoln's life. |
Songs in the Life of Abraham Lincoln celebrates the 200th birthday of the 16th president of the United States through the music he cherished. Abraham Lincoln was a man of remarkable determination, compassion, honesty, humor, and melancholy. Matthew Sabatella and the Rambling String Band's traditional acoustic arrangements of his favorite folk and popular songs enable 21st century listeners to better understand the man himself and the times in which he lived.
Extensive liner notes tell his story while highlighting his personal relationship to each song:
- His mother's favorite Old World ballad
- A minstrel song that amused him as a young man
- A campaign song that helped him win the presidency
- A slave spiritual that fueled his compassion
- A Civil War song that was played on a piano in the White House by a general
- Sentimental songs that appealed to his melancholy nature
