Dad Perkins	The Confederacy in Country Music (songs) (120* d)	the Confederacy in Country Music	08 Apr 11
Hey Mudcatters. I'm working on a research paper and I'm looking for sentimental Country tunes that mourn the loss of 'Southern Values' and/or the Confederacy after the war. My yardstick is David Allen Coe's 'Grandpa'. "Grandpa I been thinkin bout you lately....I still sing the old songs that you taught me, and I still pray to Jesus now and then. Just like you I wish that he would save me, to see the day the South will Rise Again...." The idea is to discover/discuss the possibility that the 'Lost Cause' mentality was funneled into Country music, where songs of greif and loss developed that are analogous to actual Civil War songs of battle field death. My goodness what have I gotten myself into. So let's call this game 'Country songs about the Confederacy' - go.
