Bloody War: Songs 1924-1939

Soldier's laments, heart-songs and patriotic tunes have been part of the American soundscape for generations, but most have been identified with either WWII or the Vietnam War. This newly minted collection presents performances captured between 1924 and 1939 of songs originating from the Civil War, the Spanish-American War and the Great War, WWI. Includes Dixie Division Fiddlin' John Carson; Not a Word of That Be Said Wade Mainer; Captain Won't You Let Me Go Home Darby & Tarlton; Long Way to Tipperary Frank Hutchison; Uncle Sam & the Kaiser Ernest Stoneman; Johnnie Get Your Gun Earl Johnson & His Clodhoppers; He Is Coming to US Dead Grayson & Whitter; That Old Vacant Chair Dixon Brothers; Army Mule in No Man's Land Coley Jones, and more. Most of these songs haven't been heard since their original issue over 70 years ago, but they remain relevant... a portion of proceeds from the sale of this album will be donated to Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.
