Battle Of Bull Run - Johnny Horton Cover by Jeff Cooper

CAUTION: The video contains pictures of soldiers killed in battle and may not be suitable for everyone. Only watch if you know what happens in a war.

Well, I didn't plan it this way but that's ok. On April 12, 1861(today) the Civil War started and just over two months later was this battle (July 21, 1861). The song was recorded several times by Johnny Horton but I always liked the original 1959 version, that's what I had in mind when I did this. I recorded this on my Tascam 788 first and then did the video, when both were done I put the audio track into the video and crossed my fingers the it would be in sync LOL. All the drums, banjo, vocals etc. etc. were done by me. Hope it came out ok.

Excellant job Jeff. I love all those historical Johnny Horton songs. I've been singing them since I was a kid.
