Editorial Reviews
Civil War Times Illustrated, March 1999
"Let's you hear the real sound of a time and place... Artful performance done with understanding."
Product Description
SOUTHERN SOLDIER is a collection of songs and melodies which were well known to Southerners and Northerners alike; tunes that were a familiar and comfortable part of life in the years leading up to the War Between the States. Many of these compositions were written by the likes of Stephen Foster and Daniel Emmett, who were giants of the popular music industry of their day.
Some of the titles, OL' DAN TUCKER, DIXIE'S LAND and ARKANSAS TRAVELER are still familiar to the modern-day ear. Other titles on this album, though not familiar to the eye, will be quickly recognizable to the ear. ALL selections on this album are performed on authentic instruments of the period and were chosen for the appealing nature of their rhythms and melodies. They are presented with as unique and individual a spirit as one might expect from a true Confederate camp band of the era.
Over the years since 1989, when the band was formed, we have made a concerted effort to grow in the music and the history of those times. This collection of songs and melodies that the soldiers brought with them from home to the war represents the fruit of that growth. It was and continues to be our intent as a group of musicians and living historians to try to capture the spirit and emotion of those tumultuous years. We believe that this album, SOUTHERN SOLDIER, has succeeded in that effort.

Oh Lud!.......2007-01-22
I found this recording while searching the web for additional lyrics to Ol' Dan Tucker to sing for my granddaughter. She now prefers the singing of the 2nd SCSB to mine. I've forgiven her for that.
The musicianship on this CD is adequate, with Marty Groody's whistle and fife playing being very good. To my ear, the lead vocals and harmony are very well done, their voices perfect for this genre. The song selection is a wonderful representation of songs from the Civil War era, all played and sung in authentic period style. The 2nd SCSB's strongest suit is that they play and sing the songs with great affection and passion. Their versions of Southern Soldier, Dixie's Land and others are stirring and not to be missed. I really like it when artists pack the maximum music, time wise, on a CD. The running time for this disc: 73+ minutes!
Southern Soldier.......2007-01-11
By far this is one of the most superb Civil War Period music. Listing to the title track southern soldier brought tears to my eyes, thats all i have to say
Great CD!!.......2006-11-21
Like someone said before: The Dixie version of this is worth the whole CD. All of the songs are great!
Great Album.......2006-11-10
I really enjoy this album. In fact, I listen to it over and over. It's worth it for "Southern Soldier" alone. As often as I listen to the entire album, I listen to this song even more often.
Dixie.......2006-02-17
The version of Dixie on this CD is beyond wonderful! This one song is well worth the price of the whole shebang.

The Blind Boys Go Urban Contemporary Gospel.......2004-07-24
This album, (and thats what they called music on long playing disc back in the day)... was the Blind Boys first venture into the world of contemporary Gospel. Gamble & Huff gave it there Phili International sound. Clearance Fountain, and Sam Butler worked well together and young gospel programers during that time gave some on-air time for this quartet The Five Blind Boys Of Alabama's "I'm A Soldier In The Army"..this is history, and for the first time it is on c.d. (compact disc)thanks to the legendary team of Gamble & Huff,with Messiah Records own Tony Beck and ... and then came "The Gospel At Colonus" produced by Bob Telson...pull this one up at c.d. now...

"We Can't Be Stopped" it's not (2.5/5).......2007-01-30
After the national success of Geto Boys' excellent 1991 LP "We Can't Be Stopped," member Willie D soon left the group and released his second solo album, "I'm Goin' Out Lika Soldier," within a year. It's pretty evident that Willie was trying to capitalize on the success of that album, because many elements of that album are also present here. The bare bones production, yelling chants for hooks, and delivering lyrics that are extremely controversial. But the problem is that none of the material on this album is even close in quality or effectiveness as the music on "We Can't Be Stopped." Where all of that album comes across as heartfelt and relevant, "I'm Goin' Out Lika Soldier" is rarely so. I believe Willie D to be an excellent MC, and I have always loved his Geto Boys work and really love him because he's so multi-dimensional. But on this release, he is actually quite one dimensional. Every song here is an angry, crazy effort to come across as wild and controversial. I really like Willie when he's crazy like that, but I also like the songs where he digs deeper and shows a little social consciousness, and there's not really any of that here. You sort of get the feeling that he's trying to be controversial simply for the sake of it. The production actually sounds quite dated for a 1992 release, mostly lacking the southern-fried simple genius of "We Can't Be Stopped." There are certainly a handful of good songs on "I'm Goin' Out Lika Soldier," a few that capture the fist-pumping rebelliousness of the best Geto Boys songs, but the lack of original subject matter and repetitiveness make it an album that would be okay to pass on.
After the intro, the album begins with the title track, which may well be the best on the album. It's one of the few that really recaptures the charismatic anger of the early Geto Boys group albums, and Willie's delivery and rhymes are quite effective. "Pass the Piote" is actually quite good as well, drawing in the listener with a good hook chant and opening rap. Things begin to slow down on "Die," a lethargically slow and predictable threatening song that isn't original. "Clean Up Man" has a terrible chorus and is poorly executed. "U Ain't No Ganksta" shows decent production and delivery, but Willie's rhymes feel very familiar. "Trenchcoats-N-Gangsta Hats" is a highlight on the album, a rallying cry for the mobster attire of the old days. "F... Rodney King" was obviously this album's most controversial song, a song condemning the social leader as an Uncle Tom and a softie. This song is pretty effective, but I think it could be better, and the outro that depicts Rodney being murdered on the street is a little distasteful. "Go Back 2 School" is a pretty good but forgettable song telling kids to get an education. "U Still a N..." is an odd and awkward mix of reggae and rap. "Little Hooker" condemns a certain woman, and the awful "Yo P My D" is just painful. The album ends with the just-decent "What's Up N..." and one of the better songs, "My Alibi."
Over the years I've heard this album described as slept-on, and it's true that it didn't get the right promotion or attention for a Geto Boys project, but as far as I'm concerned for an album to be slept on it actually has to be a great album. The truth is that "I'm Goin' Out Lika Soldier" is a weak effort from a great MC, an album of standard and predictable 1992 gangsta fare without anything to really set it apart. It might be a cliché, but I'd say to stick with the classics in this case, as "We Can't Be Stopped" and fellow Geto Boy Scarface's classic album "The Diary" are far superior efforts to this, and as this is now out of print paying $50+ would simply be outrageous. This isn't one of those lost gems of the Rap-a-Lot/Geto Boys catalog. For those looking for a Willie D solo album, I might suggest his 1994 effort "Play Witcha Mama," an album far superior to this one.
Classic!!.......2005-07-04
I still have the original cd that I got in '92! This album brings back alot of memories of my crazy and wild days! I'm from the Philly area, and I think me and my boys were the only ones around that knew about Willie D and the Geto Boys. My favorite songs on the album would be "Trenchcoats & Gangster hats" and "My Alibi" But over all definatly a sentimental favorite from my teenage days! Great album from Beginning to end Willie D never pulls any punches! He's a wild dude!
willie d is the best . i want this cd........1999-08-05
his music is great i have listened to his music ever since hes been singing. ive bought this cd and controversy but ive lost them i would like o get them again.
Amazon is the only place you can get this CD........1999-04-03
Willies style of rapping is far different than any one elses he mixes up somany different tunes and lyrics. I mean one minute he'l be singing in a rasta tune and talkin about passin the Paeody, and the next he'l be singin in a porno kind of beat talkin about stealin some guy's girl. But as for the cd it is as good as they get.

Customer Reviews:
Well Done !.......2003-10-08
Mr. Erbsen and Company are to be commended for the job they have done on this CD! Of the sixteen tracks, four are accompanied by voice: track four - Johnson Boys; track eight - Goober Peas; track ten -- Battle of Shiloh's Hill; and track fourteen -- `Rabbel' Soldier. Some might prefer other artists' renditions for the vocal tracks, though I enjoyed `Goober Peas.'
As I specifically had sought instrumental tracks, this CD was a great find. It appears that authentic period instruments were used and the songs performed in the manner of the Civil War era. Track three, Southern Soldier Boy, was performed slowly, with haunting violin and guitar accompaniment - quite good. Similarly, `Oh I'm a Good Old Rebel' was mournful, but I found Southern Soldier Boy to be the better of the two by far. At any rate, I would have preferred `Oh I'm a Good Old Rebel' to be performed in a lively and defiant manner. The Battle Cry of Freedom and Dixie's Land were performed in a lively manner. I also enjoyed Richmond is a Hard Road, Pattyroller, Soldier's Joy, and Boatman - nice banjo work. The banjo and fiddle are dominant, with guitar accompaniment, sometimes joined by harmonica. Other occasional instruments blend properly, including dulcimer (subtly), mandolin, mouth bow, Jews harp, accordion, hambone, bones, washboard, and (track seven) buckdancing.
I would have preferred that `Bonnie Blue Flag' had been included.
I reviewed the CD by listening through Sennheiser HD 600 headphones - the sound quality and production quality is quite good. Program length was 44 minutes. I am quite pleased with this recording !
A c.d. worthy of its glorious Southern heritage!.......2001-01-22
I am a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans and 15th Alabama reeinacting unit. I give five stars to this very wonderful collection of Southern songs that represents the thirteen stars of the Confederate flag. It is nice to hear the same music that my great great grandfather in the Southern army between battles. "With out music,their would be no army."-General Robert E. Lee
Not What I Expected.......2000-03-24
Southern Soldier Boy is a wonderful collection of authentic tunes from the time of the War Between the States. However, I was somewhat disappointed in that three quarters of the songs are purely instrumental. I expected to hear stories accompanied by music, but vocals are in short supply on this CD.
