Our Overview.

Musicians and artists have always made a running commentary on the things that did and does still affect all our lives. On this collection we find Hank Williams sending Stalin a warning that the US will deal with him should he step out of line. Bill Haley wonders what it would be like if he was the only man in town with thirteen women after the bomb wipes out all the other blokes. And the Louvin Brothers advise that Jesus will protect you should the button be pressed. It was covered by Uncle Tupelo in the 90s. Enjoy.
