Nashville Session Players: Gonna Rise Up

Gonna Rise Up dedicated to Clarence Gatemouth Brown, one of the greatest musician/artists to ever grace the shores of this land called America, whose death at the age of 81, shortly after evacuating his home in New Orleans, is thought to have largely been from heartbreak in the wake of the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina to his beloved city; and to Antoine Fats Domino, American Bourbon Street treasure, who was lost and is now found. Capitol Offense and All We Can Do Is Pray inspired by Mass Murderers in High Places. Gone With the Wind loosely based on works by Woody Guthrie, Margaret Mitchell, John Steinbeck, Bob Dylan and Isaiah, prophet of Peace and Goodwill. Tennessee Waltz 'Em inspired by Nashville, Tennessee's Capitol Gang of Heathen Shame; "I will give children to be their princes and babes shall rule over them" -Isaiah 3:4. What We Overcome based on the life of Charles Munro, early 20th Century United States immigrant from Aberdeen, Scotland
