Dacosta Woltz’s Southern Broadcasters – John Brown’s Dream

Our Song of the Day is from the 2004 album “Back Roads to Cold Mountain”. Listen to Dacosta Woltz’s Southern Broadcasters performing John Brown’s Dream:

Charles Frazier’s novel and the film Cold Mountain opened the door to a world of Appalachian history, life, and music. Now, John Cohen and Smithsonian Folkways take you all the way home to the source and the spirit of Appalachia in the signature sounds of its musical elders. Descendents of the 19th-century Appalachian frontier families perform traditional music they inherited from their Civil War-era ancestors. The album which features 70 minutes of music and a 36-page booklet with historic photos is available here:
