My personal review and reflection:
This is a musical tale from the American Civil War, 1861-1865. A lot of country music, some waltz and some other music that I don't like that much. Eric plays slide guitar on "White Trash" and dobro on "The Kentucky Racehorse". "White Horse" is OK, but the rest.... No!!
