The American Music Group - The American Music Group Volume 2 Temperance Music
Review by Benjamin Foley
The American Music Group's self-titled album is a stunning tribute to the rich musical heritage of America. With a focus on traditional folk and country sounds, the album is a celebration of the diverse cultures and styles that have shaped American music.
From the opening track "Oh Susanna" to the closing number "This Land is Your Land," the album showcases the band's exceptional musicianship and vocal harmonies. The arrangements are tasteful and authentic, with each song capturing the essence of its genre.
Standout tracks include "Wayfaring Stranger," a haunting rendition of the classic folk song, and "Jambalaya," a rollicking Cajun tune that will have listeners tapping their toes. The album's original compositions, such as "American Dream" and "Home Sweet Home," are also noteworthy for their poignant lyrics and memorable melodies.
