Fred Kirby - When That Hell Bomb Falls (1950)

[Boldorion1958]

@randomandrare--A number of country-western songs about Armageddon came out during the Cold War, including "Those Flying Saucers" by the Buchanan Brothers (1947) and "The Great Atomic Power" by the Louvin Brothers (1952).

Fred Kirby did the first and, in my opinion, best version of "Atomic Power" in 1946. He seems considerably less enthusiastic about the Super Bomb.

I've been trying to find out the name of this song for quite sometime. I'm glad I finally found it. I first heard it back in the late 90's on the PBS program Race For The Super Bomb. If you haven't seen it and enjoy history I highly suggest you watch it. FYI: It is available you youtube

"Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition."

I had to put this in my favorites. I think it's the first Armageddon country song I've ever heard!
