[Richard A Thackeray]

Copperhead Road - Steve Earle

A classic track!!

Skids - good quality audio (wrong lyrics though)

I regret never seeing them, or big Country, before the death of Stuart Adamson

Mike Harding - Bomber's Moon.

A cracking track, not forgetting another two war related tracks

Dixie Chicks
The first time I ever heard this, & Natalie got as far the line about 'list of the local Vietman dead', I had a shiver down my spine

I know the Edwin Starr version was quoted on page 1, but here's Bruce

Frenzy (saw them, many, many years ago)

And, after The Skids were mentioned twice (Into The Valley, & Working For The Yankee Dollar), here's Big Country

A fourth(?) appearance by Mike Harding:

 

[Poacher]

Has this been posted yet? If not, why not? One of many versions of this song, but I think the Pogues captured the poignancy as well as any. Edited: Whoops! Sorry, @Afnug, didn't notice your Eric Bogle version.

 

[Poacher]

Not immediately obvious, but the lyrics qualify Roy Harper's One Man Rock and Roll Band:

 

[SeanM]

A little late, but, better late than never. I have tickets to see these lads in a couple of weeks. Give them a try.

 

[SeanM]

And one of my other favourites, slightly tenuous, but probably a little different from what people would expect from Ice Cube

 

[FrankCrank]

....TenpoleTudor - Swords Of A Thousand Men.

Saw them live back in the day.................Wunderbar....

 

[AndyRM]

Bit late to the party but hey ho, this is one of my favourite albums.

Doom - War Crimes Inhuman Beings

There are "livelier versions", it is just that I find this simple vocal version more evocative
