I really like the cover of the music too.
"The album (I am quoting here from the cover) is part of an ongoing undertaking by the Vietnam Veteran's Oral History and Folklore Project to collect, preserve and make more widely known the folksons of the Vietnam War. The hope is that veteran's will be encouraged to remember and to share with the Project songs from their own experience: songs which they sang or collected in the form of manuscripts, books, records or tapes. Obviously, there are gaps in our knowledge of this material--we (the writers) would have very much liked to have included songs by women, African-Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans who served in the war, but so far none have been collected. We are also very short of Marine, Navy and Coast Guard material. We should be most rateful if anyone who knows of singers or songs from these traditions would contact us at the Project address below."

How's that plug for the project???? The CD was published by Flying Fish Records, Inc., Chicago, Ill., and it would be appropriate to mention that backup vocals were by Lisa Ellis, Sherry Hughes, and Kathy Jonas. Tom Price played guitar and did backup vocals, as did Robin Price.
