The 1861 Project

We've been watching Homeland, and I wondered what Damian Lewis's real voice sounded like, as I've only ever seen him on roles playing Americans. So along the way, we were at IMDB and saw a project he was involved in called 'To Appomattox', and then found the website. It sounds fascinating. Anyway, from there, I found The 1861 Project, The 1861 Project begins as a collection of original songs that imagine the stories of the real people who fought and lived through the Civil War.... I've downloaded the first volume, 'From Farmer to Foot Soldier', and it's excellent I'm looking forward to future volumes.

Have you seen Damien in Band of Brothers?
I thought he and Ron Livingston were terrific.

Yeah, that was the first thing I ever saw him in.

From what I remember, Damien's real accent is very British and posh. It's been a while since I've heard it, though :-)

The little snippet I heard did sound that way.
