Review of the Voices of a Grateful Nation CDs from The Austin Chronicle

Texas Platters
BY JIM CALIGIURI

Voices of a Grateful Nation, Volume One: Texas Rock, Blues & Folk
Voices of a Grateful Nation, Volume Two: Texas Country & Americana


  Whether your political stripe is blue, red, or somewhere in between, all Americans rally around the concept of supporting our troops. Produced by the Welcome Home Project, a group of Texas-based music and media professionals, the first two Voices of a Grateful Nation anthologies center on local artists with the proceeds benefiting members of the armed services who served in foreign conflicts post-9/11. While the music varies wildly from track to track and disc to disc, the songs all concern the soldier at war, at peace, or coming home. Yet whether maudlin or uplifting, the performances are uniformly first-rate with the bluegrassy "Shipping Out to Iraq Blues," a duet by Jesse Dayton and Johnny Bush; the righteous "We'll Have Peace Some Day" by Lavelle White and Guitar Shorty; and Sally and Bukka Allen's hymn, "Everyone Has Faded" immediately standing out. Others making appearances include long-timers Charlie Louvin, Ray Benson, Rusty Wier, Carolyn Wonderland, Malford Milligan, and Jimmy LaFave, as well as relative newcomers Dustin Welch, the Band of Heathens, and Brennen Leigh. With a little for anyone with a taste for roots music, both discs make interesting spins and a relatively pain-free way of showing support for war veterans.

(Both) ***




  This video is a tribute to the United States military and was put together by SGT Michael Brown who has been inspired by Brandon Rhyders song. "Mr. Soldier" is recorded by Brandon Rhyder on the Welcome Home Project CD; along with many other songs that have been written and recorded to show our support for the veterans of Iraq, Afghanistan and all US wars.

  Please leave comments on this video, and the Welcome Home Project. We will be posting reports on the albums release and the projects accomplishments. Please become a friend of ours and all the artists and become apart of the American movement to support our all-volunteer military men and women, who work so hard for so little, risking their lives for our country each day. Thanks from a Grateful Nation!

Thank you for creating this MySpace to share the wonderful music with America.

My son just returned from his 3rd tour of duty. The music touches me to the core.

I am going to Itunes to download the music and play it for my high school students!
