Percy Faith Great Folk Themes / American Serenade

The Folk Song era - surveyed by the Faith orchestra (including a banjo) is a delight, with several songs of the era of the folksingers. Yup, there's a banjo here to help out with a little hoedown in "Darlin' Corey." You'll even hear Bob Dylan's "Blowin' In The Wind." "American Serenade" is a classic Faith album from 1963, with slow, thoughtful treatments of soaring tunes celebrating scenic songs of America, done with LOTS of strings, wordless female chorus, woodwinds, flutes, and exquisite saxophone solos.
