Our Take

Tennessee Ernie Ford's latest album, "Civil War Songs of the South," is a nostalgic and somewhat peculiar trip down memory lane. Our dear Tennessee Ernie has certainly put his heart and soul into this collection of patriotic and prideful tunes from yesteryear.

From the moment the haunting opening chords of "Dixie" fill the air, you know you're in for a wild ride full of rebel yells and Confederate tears. Ford's deep, resonant voice carries the weight of history as he croons about the glory days of the Confederacy, transporting you to a time when plantations were plentiful and muskets were a man's best friend.

Throughout the album, Ford shows off his versatility as an artist, seamlessly transitioning from solemn ballads like "The Battle Cry of Freedom" to foot-stomping anthems like "The Bonnie Blue Flag." His renditions are faithful to the originals, yet imbued with a sense of reverence that is truly captivating.

While some may find the subject matter a bit controversial, there's no denying the power of these songs and the emotions they evoke. Tennessee Ernie Ford has once again proven himself to be a master of his craft, delivering a stirring and thought-provoking album that will leave you humming "Dixie" for days to come. So grab your sweet tea, sit back, and let the Civil War nostalgia wash over you like a warm Southern breeze.
