Dad Perkins The Confederacy in Country Music (songs) (120* d) RE: the Confederacy in Country Music 13 Apr 11


Gang this Thread has been fascinating in its development. Y'all should read back and take a broad look at what's been covered.

Regarding my original question you might like to know the Country Music songs that I've latched onto which refer to concepts of 'Southerness' that both resemble some of the Sentimental ballads of the Civil War, and in some way mourn the loss of Southern values as put forth by the Lost Cause movement:

I Sang Dixie: Yoakam
I Still Sing the Old Songs: DAC
Dixie You're Done: Waylon

I'm also going to discuss Don William's Good Ol' Boys Like Me? as an ameliorative meditation on...well....What do you do with good ol' boys like me?

Still, I could use some more modern country songs that mourn the loss of the war

Help me Obe Wan. You're my only hope.
