Summary: Should separate narration from music...
Review: I got this CD set thinking that the narrated sections were on tracks that I could skip if I wanted to. This is not the case. To listen to the music you have to sit through the dialogue. Great for teaching kids American history, but not for just demonstrating the songs of the time. They really should have kept it separated (or used detailed liner notes).

Summary: A Fresh Breath of Realistic Relief from Disneyized History
Review: Short and informative narritive between songs which is neither overly long nor sickenly sweet. The numbers all tend to be plain in the style of the day. The vocal arrangement could use a little more variety. But while the voices are not Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, they are certainly adequate and pleasant to listen to. It is well worth the price.
