I Love America

Taped live at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., this patriotic musical extravaganza features soloist Robert Merrill and the U.S. Air Force Band's Singing Sergeants under the direction of Captain Amy R. Mills performing a string of classics: "The Star Spangled Banner," "The Pledge of Allegiance," "America the Beautiful," "This Land Is Your Land," "Stars and Stripes," "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," "God Bless America," and "When Johnny Comes Marching Home." In addition, two stirring medley "salutes" are offered to George M. Cohan and the Armed Forces. Good sound and crisp audio, combined with the fact that Americans are in a very patriotic mode these days, make I Love America a good choice for public libraries. Recommended.
