My younger brother is in the Army, serving in Iraq right now, and I’m making a cd for him. What are some great country, military style songs. I’m drawing a big blank?

“Red, White and Blue,” by Rockie Lynne.
“American Soldier” and “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue,” both by Toby Keith.
“I Just Came Back from a War” and “Have You Forgotten?” both by Darryl Worley.
“God Bless the U.S.A.” by Lee Greenwood.
“Let Freedom Ring,” “The Last Fallen Hero,” “Freedom and Justice for All,” “Still in Saigon,” “In America” and “Summer of ‘68,” all by Charlie Daniels.
There’s also this song called “For a Soldier” that’s by a 17-year-old girl from Texas named Sarah Jarosz. Of course, I don’t think she has an album yet, though you can hear it at http://www.myspace.com/sarahjarosz and she’s great at mandolin, but she can also play clawhammer banjo and guitar. Of course, she’s not actually country, though she is a bit of a mix between bluegrass and folk. That song, “For a Soldier,” is a good one though.
“bumper of my suv” by chely wright is about one of the best. but, i also like “8th of november” by big and rich. you should try “god bless the usa” by lee greenwood…it’s not really a military song but it’s very patriotic.
“There’s a Star Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere” by Elton Britt is one of the oldest and one of the best.
Other songs to add:
“The Fightin’ Side of Me” – Merle Haggard
“Woah Sailor” – Hank Thompson
“Reenlistment Blues” – Merle Travis
“Have You Forgotten” – Darryl Worley
“The Weapon of Prayer” – Louvin Brothers
I just got back from war – Darrel Worley
Letters from Home – John Micheal Montgomery
Just a dream – Carrie Underwood (its sad)
The 8th of November – Big and Rich (this one is awesome)
If Your Reading The – Tim McGraw (the best of all of them, but sad)
I HOPE I HELPED!!
Toby Keith is pretty good at this
try American Soldier or Courtesy of the Red White and Blue
Also, I’m Proud to be an American by Lee Greenwood is really good.
Lee Greenwood’s “I’m Proud to be an American”
LOL I know I’m getting thumbs downs for that one…
Good luck…you have a great idea!
