As the Iraq War dragged on and George Bush's approval ratings plummeted, 2005 marked--in some respects--the year America's patriotic fervor cooled a bit. Nevertheless, there's nothing like a little good ol' country music to get the flags waving and the fists pumping, and PATRIOTIC COUNTRY 2 aims to do just that. With a good selection of old and new, the album also serves as an interesting political indicator of just what was on people's minds during different phases of our Nation's past. Johnny Cash's heart-string-pulling recitation "Ragged Old Flag" from 1974 gives a little history lesson that reminds listeners how much has been sacrificed in the name of the Stars & Stripes. Chely Right's "The Bumper of My SUV" puts a modern, more personal spin on the age-old theme of dying for one's ideals. An added treat is Elvis Presley's dramatic, gospel-infused live reading of "America the Beautiful." A great choice for July 4th, Memorial Day or Veterans' Day celebrations, PATRIOTIC COUNTRY 2 should help many an American's chest swell with pride.
