Civil War: Songs of the North collects 15 Union-centric instrumental ballads like  Weeping Sad and Lonely/When This Cruel War Is Over, When Johnny Comes Marching Home, and The Battle Cry of Freedom, all of which are impeccably performed by Nashville-based multi-instrumentalist Craig Duncan and a small army of talented session musicians.
This is an absolutely fantastic song, and one of my favorite of all protest/anti-war songs. And unlike some of the songs from the Vietnam era, this is absolutely timeless. I also really like the versions by The Temptations and Bruce Springsteen.2. General Comment No one has to fight for their freedom. There IS another way. And the more people refuse to go to war, the better off humanity will be. I take my hat off to all of those brave souls who refuse to participate in the conflicts of the nations.
