Title: American music history
Review: Rather than being a fan of Nelson Eddy I approached this cd from the point of view music history and found it to be the best one-cd collection of Stephen Foster's music available. Eddy does a good straight-forward job of singing the songs and I kept listening to the album while reading Ken Emerson's excellent book, "Doo-dah: Stephen Foster and the Rise of American Popular Culture." The cd and book are a great combination and introduction to a fascinating period of American culture.
