"Carl Sandberg spent his life researching old folk songs and therefore represents a critical link in not just their preservation but also in terms of how they were sung. This CD is him singing his favorites, a selection which says a lot about him as a man, his feelings and his sense of humor. His singing is incredibly down to earth and very powerful. One can enjoy listening to some of the songs over and over savoring the intonation and spirit he evokes."

"It was great to get this CD. Great social and depression era songs. I have an LP with most of these songs and have long searched for a CD. I first discovered Carl Sandburg as a folk song singer in western North Carolina at Connemara Farm. Later, in high school, I learned he was a poet and author."
