GUEST,henryp Any April Songs? (190* d) RE: Any April Songs? 06 Apr 23


From: GeoffLawes Date: 05 Oct 21 - 06:00 PM; The Battle of Shiloh, also known as the Battle of Pittsburg Landing, took place from April 6 to April 7, 1862, and was one of the major early engagements of the American Civil War.

From Mainly Norfolk; Martin Simpson sang Hills of Shiloh in 2019 on his Topic album Rooted. He noted: From 1977 to 1988, I worked with June Tabor. We performed a very wide selection of material including a set of songs from, or inspired by, the American Civil War. June performed Shel Silverstein's Hills of Shiloh in that set, a song which portrays a broken woman whose partner has been killed in the war, a fact that she cannot accept after 40 years. Silverstein was a great writer and illustrator of children's books and a very successful writer of songs. A Boy Named Sue, Sylvia's Mother and The Ballad of Lucy Jordan are among his best known. Mick Peat of Derby suggested that I should record the song. Thank you, Mick.

June Tabor sings THE HILLS OF SHILOH ;

Have you seen Amanda Blaine in the Hills of Shiloh?
Walking in the morning rain in the Hills of Shiloh?
Have you seen her at her door
Listening for the cannon roar
And the man who went to war from the Hills of Shiloh?
