A few days ago I made a post about the plight of William Alexander Russell. I cannot help but think that this, in an indirect way, can allude to his story!
Texas is a unique place, and it has been made more unique by the souls that came to Texas in the wake of the War Between the States.
The 1861 Project is a collection of 3 albums that include stories from both sides of the war. I decided long ago that more history can be learned from period music from the war as well as newly-written tunes that attempt to 1) tell stories from the past and 2) help the songwriter come to grips with the reality of the war that changed our national direction.
If you haven't given it a listen, please do!
