Subject: RE: Fav. Historical Story-songs
Herald of Free Enterprise was written by Robb Johnson. Spine-chilling! James Keelaghan has some very good songs in this line: Abraham, Kiri's Piano, Hillcrest Mine, Glory Bound, Small Rebellion, Cold Missouri Waters. Brian McNeill's entire 'Back o' the North Wind' CD qualifies, plus qwuite a number of his other songs, e. g. Montrose, Greenland's Icy Waters, The Roving Dies Hard and Seacoalers. And what about all those songs about highwaymen and bushrangers? Which reminds me of Judy Small (again!) whose songs about the role of women in history are usually great.
