I heard this next track for the first time today on the radio, and thought it was appropriate enough for the 4th of July, as the programmers at WROW did.
"Living in The Promiseland" was the first single off Willie Nelson's 1986 CD, "Promiseland", and hit #1 on the country charts in both the US & Canada. Its author, David Lynn Jones, would release it himself the very next year.
Willie's version includes some archived video, and Jones' lyrics reference the poem, "The Huddled Masses".
Yes, Columbia Records, Willie's label at the time, was still the property of CBS at that time. Today, it's part of Sony.
