Synopsis

Album Description
An essential collection of 11 traditional American folk songs that capture what Cameron calls "a longing for home". Featuring 19th Century and early 20th Century favorites like "Red River Valley" and "Shenandoah", as well as later spirituals like "Peace in the Valley" and "Just a Closer Walk with Thee." "Cameron can convey the sly honesty of His Eye is on the Sparrow and the catharsis of Careless Love with equal perception. Her triumph on American Songs was to go it alone, without accompaniment, and to choose songs that would still be bruised if spoken." -Face Magazine
