"RAISE A RUCKUS"
Volume 5, copyright 1991, 45 minutes.
A nation weary
of war turned to the new, uniquely American form of entertainment,
the minstrel show, to find escape. Crude jokes, slapstick,
comic plays would evolve Into and eventually be replaced
by Vaudeville. From the first performance to the last obscure
minstrel, music was the glue that held everything together.
Stephen Collins Foster was one of the premiere songwriters
of the Civil War era as demonstrated by ten of the songs
in this recording. Hs tunes were given the ultimate honor
of being parodied time and again.
