Bittersweet and Briers plays American and
Celtic folk music. We discovered many of the songs of the
Civil War came from those sources, so we felt quite at home
making this album. The liner notes have been carefully
researched to provide information about each selection.
Songs on the album reflect the attitudes (some strong) of
both the North and the South. These are some of the songs
often requested when the band plays for Civil War
reenactment events. The album is dedicated to the memory of
those ancestors of the band who were veterans of both the
North and the South.
Bittersweet and Briers consists of Sherri Bonham, guitar and
vocals; Carolyn Moses, hammered dulcimer; Roger Wright,
guitar and vocals; Julie Hughes, Irish whistle, mandolin and
mountain dulcimer; David Moses, bodhran and spoons.
