“Give a Rebel Yell”
Get a Signed Copy of My Book ($25 Direct From Author)
"In this stunning and well-researched book, Kevin Levin catches the new waves of the study of memory, black soldiers, and the darker underside of the Civil War as well as anyone has... Levin is both superb scholar and public historian, showing us a piece of the real war that does now get into the books, as well as into site interpretation."
David Blight, Author of Race and Reunion

Glad to hear you found it entertaining. I thought the music was pretty bad.

In the box labeled “sounds like” you will agree that the singer does sound like Hank Williams Jr., 38 Special…maybe, Johnny Cash…it's possible…but here's the kicker….Def Lepard??????? Maybe they sport some really great retro mullets!!!!
You can also sample some more of their music on the site like “My Dixie”, “Never Surrender” and “Southern Belle”. Quality stuff here!
Nice work by “Scratchy-Voice McGurk and the Butt-tones”
Good Lord, that's a terrible song.
I thought I'd heard every style of music imaginable. Now, I can add “Confederate screamo” to the list.
