For some reason Dave Brubeck was motivated to record a second album of songs associated with the South (as a follow-up to Gone with the Wind) and the results form this LP, a trio set without altoist Paul Desmond. The eight standards range from &Oh Susanna& and &Little Rock Getaway& to &Darktown Strutters Ball& and &Darling Nellie Gray&; in addition two originals in the style round out the well-played but somewhat forgettable program.
