Various - The Andersonville Trial

Review by Frederik Nørgaard

The Andersonville Trial is a compelling album that showcases the talents of various artists. This album is a collection of songs inspired by the trial of the Confederate Army officer, Henry Wirz, who was charged with war crimes for his role in the Andersonville prisoner of war camp during the Civil War.

The album features a variety of musical styles, including folk, country, and bluegrass, and each song tells a powerful story. The artists on this album have done an excellent job of capturing the emotions and struggles of the prisoners of war who suffered at Andersonville.

One standout track is "Wirz," performed by the band The Steel Wheels. This song tells the story of Henry Wirz and his trial, and the haunting melody and powerful vocals make it a standout on the album.

Another highlight is "Ain't No Grave," performed by The Honey Dewdrops. This song tells the story of a prisoner of war who refuses to give up hope, even in the face of death. The beautiful harmonies and poignant lyrics make this song a standout on the album.
