Johnny Reb

If you've never heard of Johnny Horton, then you're missing out. His songs and ballads, though old, are very good (and often funny).

This song is more serious, and I like it. The Confederate soldiers fought bravely and honorably (for the most part... there were atrocities committed by both sides), and they should be remembered with respect, regardless of which side of the American Civil War you identify with.

I'd love to hear what you think of this music!
