Artist description These songs tell the moving stories of the 49ers, prospectors who risked life and happiness to find gold in the far-away land of California. There are mentions throughout of the historic mining towns of the California Gold Country — Placerville, Sutter's Mill, San Francisco— and some of the famous characters of the California Gold Rush of 1849. Tales of hope, struggle, suffering, love left behind, and the ever-present bugs make these characters vivid and real. The music was composed and arranged by Billboard award-winning songwriter and Columbia recording artist Jimmi Accardi. He feels this is some of the best music he's written. The songs were used for the musical play "Gold Rush Days".
