Album Notes

Jay Ungar & Molly Mason achieved international acclaim when their performance of Jay's, "Ashokan Farewell," became the theme of Ken Burns' "The Civil War," on PBS. The soundtrack recording won a Grammy and Jay was nominated for an Emmy. "Ashokan Farewell" was originally inspired by Jay & Molly's Ashokan Fiddle & Dance Camps in New York's Catskill Mountains, which are still going strong today.

In concert, Jay and Molly take you on a musical journey spanning two centuries and two continents. In recent years they've to reached an ever wider audience through appearances on "Great Performances," "A Prairie Home Companion," their own public radio specials, and through their work on film soundtracks such as, "Brother's Keeper," "Legends of the Fall" and a host of Ken Burns' PBS documentaries.

The music is awesome, good harmony and mix of music. Even gives some background info. for each piece. We got the MP3 format of this CD and will put it over to the Ipod. The sound quality is great and it was fun to get the CD instantly with no shipping cost.

blend together so well,after listening to the album i could imagine the soldiers listening and singing these songs to pass the time and to help 
them deal with all of the hardships of the war.
