 These are beautiful renditions of familiar songs... Feb 09, 2010
Of the 29 selections, about 1/3 are by Bobby Horton (multi-string instruments) about 1/3 are by Jacqueline Schwab (piano); the rest are by other artists you will want to get to know! The list includes favorites like: Sweet Betsy from Pike, Poor Wayfarin' Stranger, Hard Times (two renditions of this well-known Civil War song), Maple Meaf Rag, Swing Low Sweet Chariot, and 23 others. Aside from the historical significance, the music itself it simply beautiful, and the artists are top in their field. Much work was done to customize these selections for the movie, and the effort has paid off in a finished product that is timeless and perfectly balanced.

Easy Listening Sep 23, 2008
This is a nice relaxing old instrumental country music mix. If you enjoy Burns' movies, you will love this cd.

Delightful Jan 09, 2007
Music is interspersed with a sprinkling of quotes from Mr. Twain, as candid and clever as you might expect...and brief enough not to interfere with your music listening. Soundtrack feels true to the early american midwest, with authentic acoustic instrumentation. Great fun on roadtrips.

A Beautiful Musical Experience Mar 13, 2004
As a lover of period music from the 19th century, and a major fan of Mark Twain, I wouldn't be without this CD - or the video it is from. Bobby Horton does a superb job, and listening is a spiritual trip back to a better time.

 Slick Jan 31, 2002
This is a slick little recording that sanitizes the tops of the pops of roots music - sort of a roots muzak experience. It's a pleasurable enough listen, and Bobby Horton is a wonder as a solo string player who overdubs up to 7 instruments on a much too up-tempo version of "Hard Times," but it's all just too, too clean. Good background music, though.
