Our Take

Ah, Tennessee Ernie Ford, the man with a voice as smooth as Tennessee whiskey and a personality as charming as a Southern belle. In this latest compilation album, "Civil War Songs of the North," Ford takes us on a journey through some of the most iconic tunes from the Union side of the war.

From the haunting melodies of "Battle Cry of Freedom" to the rousing anthems of "Marching Through Georgia," Ford brings his signature down-home style to each track, making you feel like you're right there on the battlefield alongside those brave Northern soldiers.

But don't let the title fool you - this album isn't just a history lesson. Ford injects a healthy dose of Southern flair into these Northern songs, blending twangy guitars with heartfelt lyrics to create a sound that is uniquely his own.

While some may quibble with Ford's decision to tackle such a divisive period of American history, there's no denying the raw emotion and passion he brings to each performance. Whether you're a history buff or simply a fan of good old-fashioned Americana music, "Civil War Songs of the North" is sure to strike a chord with listeners of all stripes.

So grab yourself a mint julep, kick back on the porch, and let Tennessee Ernie Ford whisk you away to a time when the fate of a nation hung in the balance - and the music was damn good, too.
