It was General Robert E. Lee that said you can't have an army without music. Bobby Horton is considered by many to be an expert in the field of historical music of the War Between the States, but, above and beyond that, he a very accomplished musician, who has turned out CD after CD of top notch period music.

Residing in Birmingham, Alabama, Bobby Horton has contributed to many project's, such as the following Ken Burns' specials: "The Civil War," "Baseball," "Thomas Jefferson," "Lewis and Clark," "Frank Lloyd Wright." He has also contributed to the Talonsoft computer games "Shiloh" and "Antietam." These as many, many other productions bear the talent of this established musician. Bobby Horton continues to contribute to documentary films, as well as playing live as a solo artist, as well as with his long-time band Three on a String.

Using mostly period instruments, Bobby Horton has translated the tunes of yester-year into an exciting and foot-stompin' time for all today. He recreates the passion of this music, from the optimistic, boastful tunes early in the war, to the mournful, heartfelt songs written after tens of thousands of men had fallen, never again to see their loved ones.

Playing and singing most everything himself, this one man has laid before us an extensive selection of all the tunes we love and cherish, and many, many that are less known, but shouldn't be. Any of the CD's offered are worthy of a place in any good southron's collection. Relive the memories of our Confederate ancestors joyous music, and sing for the cause that so many gave their life to protect. With over 14 history CDs available, we currently carry the Homespun Songs of the CSA volumes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 as well as both Homespun Songs of Faith and songs of Christmas.
