Title: JUST SCRATCHES THE SURFACE OF OLD TIME MUSIC
Review: Kudos to the review by d-adenan from Alexandria, Va. This soundtrack is a Hollywoodized version of 19th century music. C'mon, Jack White singing Wayfaring Stranger? For those who really get inspired by this music, who want more, try the disc "Songs from the mountain" for sale right here on this site - that'll give a more satisfying taste for the tunes played in a more authentic style - great vocals by Tim O'Brien with fiddle, banjo, and guitar accompaniment. For those who care to know, there is a movement in this country of folk who play this music regularly, who gather in homes and at contra dances to play this style of music - check out various "old time" websites for the music festivals, workshops, recordings, and dances. And yes, the best stuff is by the Sacred Harp Singers.
