The Battle of New Orleans

by Johnny Horton

You know those annoying TimeLife infomercials that are on TV all the time? Well thats how I first heard this song and when I found the CD (yes back in the day when people still bought CDs) I had to buy it. My bff Amanda and I used to sing this song all the time. This song also introduced me to the world of Country music, a world inhabited by the likes of Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Billy Walker, Claude King, Flatt & Scruggs, Bobby Bare, the Kingston Trio, Jimmy Dean and the Charlie Daniels Band.
