Voices of a Grateful Nation

Amazon

Muddy Bottom Blues

Program #54 (November 20 at 8:00PM)

“Voices of a Grateful Nation” uses music to redefine troop support.  In an attempt to highlight the challenges that face homecoming troops and to sound a call for action from the public and the private sector, the Welcome Home Project has produced a series of unique recordings that feature Americana artists and songs of gratitude, support and understanding. 

Performers include Sally and Bukka Allen, W.C. Clark, Jesse Dayton, Deryl Dodd, Jimmy LaFave, Walt and Tina Wilkins, and more.
