Earth Opera - album The great American Eagle tragedy 1969 (2001)

The second and last album by Earth Opera. The group as usual ties together many styles into a rich unique sound. There are folksy tracks but with lots of jazzy undercorrents, strong political messages, haunting themes in a cross mixture of blue grass, country, folk and jazz. Soon after the album release the group disbanded, paving the way for solo careers mainly for Peter Rowan and David Grssman.
