		<title>Dulcem Melodies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In this their fifth album, the 2nd South Carolina String Band once again brings you the songs and music that moved the American people of the early and mid-eighteen hundreds. They play the music that was in the hearts and minds and on the tongues of the citizen-soldiers that made up the ranks of the armies of the North and the South as they marched off to take part in the cataclysmic struggle that was to become the defining event of our nation's history. They play it on instruments of the era and in an authentic manner and style that carries the listener back to simpler times.]]></description>

		<title>Hard Road</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The 2nd South Carolina String Band recorded their first album; WE'RE TENTING TONIGHT, in 1991. Containing 15 of the most popular songs of the War Between the States, it was well received from the start and continues to be a strong seller. In fact, it was so well received that the band was encouraged to produce a second album, WE ARE A BAND OF BROTHERS, released two years later in 1993. This recording profited from the experience gained since the first - being produced in a better studio with better technology - as well as from two more years of performances together by a band whose reputation was already spreading rapidly.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[2nd South Carolina String band recorded Daniel Emmett&#8217;s Dixie for the Southern Soldier album.
(You can hear this song online at last.fm)
I wish I was in the land of cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten;
Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie&#8217;s Land!
In Dixie&#8217;s Land where I was born in,
Early on one frosty morning,
Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie&#8217;s Land!
Then I wish I was in Dixie! Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie&#8217;s Land I&#8217;ll take my stand, to live and die in Dixie!
Away! Away! Away down South in Dixie!
Away! Away! Away down South in ...]]></description>
