"I've been looking for CDs of musicians that play the old songs. I am a preschool teacher and a mother and would like to continue these traditional songs on to another generation. This is good because its got a lot of songs I recognize. I still don't know where I learned half these songs, but memories cling to schoolrooms. "Erie Canal," "Hard Times Come Again No more," "Old Folks at Home" are a bunch of oldies but goodies. I was really looking for Stephen Fosters stuff that was "tastefully" done; this comes close. Its done in an accoustical way with the same guy singing EVERY song, that gets a little tiresome, even if it is his CD. But I am pleased with my purchase. There is no jazzed up versions here. I don't know about altered lyrics, either. But I do know its great to listen during my preschool day."
