Help in Compiling A Patriotic Music CD (vanity/input needed)

[FlJoePa]

Fellow Freepers would know more than anyone, so I am asking for some input on some entries into a Patriotic Music CD I am compiling - using only my own personal cd's - no copyright infringement, mp3 downloads here (heh heh).

What I have so far:

God Bless America - Kate Smith
Proud to be an American - Lee Greenwood
Ballad of the Green Berets - Barry Sadler
The Pledge of Allegience - Red Skelton
America, Why I Love Her - John Wayne
National Anthem - Leann Rimes
Okie From Muskogee - Merle Haggard
Battle Hymn of the Republic - Mormon Tabernacle Choir
God Bless America - Leann Rimes
America the Beautiful - Ray Charles
Facing British Lines - The Patriot Soundtrack

I would greatly appreciate any input or opinions that many of my patriotic Freeper brothers and sisters could offer.

Thanks in advance.

The Battle of New Orleans - Johnny Horton

Jimmy Driftwood

[egarvue]

The Kingston Trio also did a version of the Battle of New Orleans, I believe. We fired our guns, but the British kept a'comin... GREAT song!

[Pknicker]

Ragged Old Flag - Johnny Cash

[tarawa]

"I'd Rather Die Than Be Your Slave" by Pokerface ( http://www.pokerface.com/ThePatriot/ ). Another song off their last CD, Sex, Lies, and Politiks, called Watchman would also fit the genre very nicely......

Born in the U.S.A. is more anti-American, than patriotic.... and Bruce Springsteen is a socialist stooge anyhow.

'Live What I Believe', remix by Russ Lee and W.

[SamAdams76]

"We Must Take America Back" by Steve Vaus. He also has a song called "Will You Be Among The Patriots."

I'm not a Neil Diamond fan but I do like his "America" from the Jazz Singer soundtrack.

Ruben James - Written by Woody Gutherie
Stars and Stripes Forever - Written by John Philip Sousa
Caisons Go Rolling Along
Anchors Aweigh
Marine Corps Hymn
Off We GO Into The Wild Blue Yonder
Semper Paratus
Star Spangled Banner

Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

[Chemist_Geek]

If you're a fan of instrumental, Sousa's Stars And Stripes Forever is good. Also The Washington Post March and American Patrol. Stay away from America, it's a retread of God Save The Queen. Kate Smith is great.

Then there are the traditional ones:
The Marine Corps Hymn
"Wild Blue Yonder"
The Caissons Go Rolling Along
and my personal fave, Anchors Aweigh

(Wanders off, humming "and sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray!")

"Stars and Stripes Forever" by John Philip Sousa
"Don't Give Us a Reason" by Hank Williams Jr
"A Country Boy Can Survive" by Hank Williams Jr
"Simple Man" by Charlie Daniels

[shockjock]

"Star Spangled Banner" -- Jimi Hendrix. Say what you will, it's an incredible version. I'd love to see this blasted across the Kandahar Range, rattling down into the caves where Osama-mama is hiding.

[maxwell]

"You Shook Me All Night Long", AC/DC. There's that line in there about "knockin' me OUT with those AMERICAN THIGHS!" OWWWWW!!!

...speaking lf lines, I still like some lines from Merle Haggard's Okie from Musgokee:

"Leather boots are still in style for manly football.....Beads and Roman Sandels won't be seen."
Also - "We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy....Like the hippies out in San Francisco do."

Can you imagine if someone released that today? God Bless Merle Haggard!
