  1. Check this one out, Jason. The studio version isn't on YouTube, but this conveys the song adequately.

  2. Thanks for the suggestion. I saw Billy Bright in Davis, WV a few years back with his band. Too/Two High String Band? (Says Two High on his web page. Did this change from Too High?) Anyway, great song. I should add it as an honorable mention.

  4. You should check out the song I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK by Jimmy Copens.
    Its about freedom, not black, white, left or right.
