NotesKen Burns' PBS documentary on our national pastime is every bit as moving and profound as you'd expect from the man who created the Civil War. This album, the soundtrack to the series, "sports" such classic baseball songs as Did You See Jackie Robinson Hit That Ball?, both the old Count Basie version and a new one by Natalie Cole, and Take Me Out to the Ball Game done by Bruce Hornsby and Dr. John, plus songs by Duke Ellington, Les Brown, King Curtis, Blind Willie Johnson... a roster of artists spanning 100 years of baseball!
