America! The sound of that name inspires and emboldens us; it emboldens us as we follow in the footsteps of those who’ve gone before, and inspires us to do even greater things still…to build better, be stronger, reach farther, dream bigger, and trust God to lead us to new frontiers and scale new heights. We are a country both built and sustained by dreamers. Dreamers who became doers. Dreamers who didn’t listen when others said “impossible.” Dreamers who dared to make dreams come true…American Dreamers!

The creative team of Tony Wood and Cliff Duren have joined forces with Word Music to bring you this new, inspirational patriotic musical called American Dreamers. This inaugural release in Word’s God & Country Series fuses iconic patriotic songs such as “America, the Beautiful” and “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee”; new patriotic songs by Tony Wood; hymn favorites such as “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” and “O God, Our Help in Ages Past”; songs of Praise and Worship, along with two well-known country music hits, “Arlington” (made popular by Trace Adkins) and “American Flag on the Moon” (popularized by Brad Paisley) — songs about freedom, liberty, Biblical foundations, faith, American life…God & Country!

Written for Choir, Rhythm Section, Orchestra, Soloists, and Narrator, American Dreamers sets a new standard for patriotic, God-and-Country musical experiences. Employ the use of the visually-compelling DVD Accompaniment Track for a memory-making patriotic service!

This solo collection presents 19 iconic melodies from the American traditional song book plus 6 modern original compositions by William Bay, president of Mel Bay Publications; all selections have been arranged in tablature for the 5-string banjo in gDGBD tuning by Catalonian multi-instrumentalist and bluegrass specialist, Llu?s G?mez.Any collection of American ballads would be incomplete without settings of the beautiful melodies penned by Stephen Foster, several of which appear here including Beautiful Dreamer, Darling Nellie Gray, I Dream of Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair, and Hard Times, Come Again No More. Some of these tunes are arranged in uncommon banjo keys, all without retuning the banjo or using a capo. These keys may be challenging at first but will teach you a lot about the banjo fretboard.The author�?s generous preface offers tips on practice, performance and interpretation rarely found in tablature collections such as these, but this book has it all, including online recordings of each arrangement.
