Product Description:
The guitar fostered great creativity in the South as it evolved from a small gut-string instrument in polite parlors to the big, loud, steel-string guitar now found in our homes and onstage. Mike sings and plays a variety of the styles that were played in the rural South from about 1850 to 1930 on 25 different types of guitars. Featured are: banjo-like styles, rags, blues, parlor and parlor-based styles, slide guitar styles, and many song accompaniment styles. The booklet includes a fresh look at the history of the guitar and its travel South, notes on songs and styles, and photographs of all the instruments used. 36-page booklet, 28 tracks, 74 minutes

Early Southern Guitar Sounds Review

Excellent, as always. Mike is a stellar performer and has been instrumental (although quietly) in collecting important music that might otherwise be lost. He has never received the credit that is his due.
Also, Pete Seeger is still alive and well, and Mike is his brother, not his son.

great project from a national treasure -

Early Southern Guitar Sounds Review
|

First off, a couple corrections to mike knox's Dec. 3 review below - Mike Seeger is the half-brother (NOT the son) of the "late" Pete Seeger, who as of this writing is still very much alive and still performing occasionally.
That said, Mike Seeger has given us another wonderful collection of historic American music, just as he did on "Southern Banjo Sounds" and so many other recordings. Anyone with an interest in old-time music, or folk music, or traditional music, or whatever you want to call it, should add this CD to their collection.

Early Southern Guitar Sounds Review

Nice southern roots guitar music! Mike, son of the late, great Pete Seeger plays some tasty southern roots tunes on various historic guitars. He seems to have quite a collection of vintage songs as well as guitars. The 33 page booklet that comes with the CD is quite informative. You get an interesting history of the guitar and its music from the first half of the 20th century in the southern US. Musicologists & historians will enjoy this one. This is nice, relaxing acoustic folk & country music, mostly guitar, with one banjo number. Mike shares detailed information about each song and which instrument he uses. There are some old favorites here (Wildwood Flower, Old Chisholm Trail and John Henry), as well as a few new (to me) songs, all played in a style that takes you back in time. A very enjoyable respite to the frenetic pace we now subject ourselves to.

Early Southern Guitar Sounds Review

I am hopelessly stuck in the classic rock type music. I was at the original Woodstock. I spent time at the Phillmore East. I am not able to appreciate music that has come after that time frame.
That being said, I sure enjoyed this disc and all the music in it. You can feel the stirrings of the rock it created and appreciate what it gives our ears. Absolutely worth the money.
