A stirring artifact of early Southern musical heritage, Edison Blue Amberol #2175 – “Bonnie Blue Flag,” performed by Polk Miller and His Old South Quartette captures one of the most recognizable patriotic anthems of the Confederacy, rendered in Miller’s signature blend of banjo‑driven folk performance and rich vocal harmony. Recorded during the height of the Blue Amberol era, this cylinder preserves Miller’s historically significant interpretations of 19th‑century Americana — a style prized by collectors for its authenticity, clarity, and cultural resonance.
This 4‑minute Blue Amberol issue delivers the crisp, resonant fidelity that made the celluloid format famous, with Miller’s ensemble presenting the march‑like melody in a spirited, period‑accurate style. For enthusiasts of Civil War music, Southern folk traditions, or Polk Miller’s celebrated catalog, #2175 stands as a compelling and desirable example — a cylinder that bridges documented history with the living sound of the early 1910s phonograph era.
Ideal for curated collections, museum‑grade displays, or historically themed listening sessions, this piece offers both scholarly value and emotional impact, preserving one of the era’s most iconic songs in its original acoustic recording form.
