Bloody War: Songs 1924-1939 - CD

Various: Bloody War: Songs 1924-1939 versie op CD in standaard editie. Deze specifieke uitgave werd uitgebracht in VS bij uitgeverij Tompkins Square op 16. september 2010.

Military laments, heartfelt songs and patriotic melodies have been an integral part of the American soundscape for generations. This newly released collection features songs from the American Civil War, the Spanish-American War, and the "war to end all wars," World War I, captured between 1924 and 1939. These recordings were a vernacular foundation of both the ordinary soldier's view of the battlefield and the family and loved ones he left behind. Many of these songs have not been heard since their original release in the 1920s and 1930s and are as relevant today as when they were written. Produced by Christopher King and Josh Rosenthal, artwork by Susan Archie and liner-notes by country music historian Tony Russell. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this album will be donated to the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA. org).
