When I was a little boy I absolutely loved this album. I would sing along with these songs and they inspired me to break open the ol' Encyclopedia Britannica (remember those?) and learn about the people and places in the songs. I still find myself occasionally singing some of these as I drive around (LOL).
Johnny Horton was another of those that left us too early. He died in a car accident, hit by a drunk driver, in the same year this was released.
