The musical history of the Korean War, told on 4 CDs accompanied by an illustrated book with detailed liner notes and the history of the war. - More than 100 country, blues, pop and gospel titles covering all facets of the war, including The Louvin Brothers, Fats Domino, Jean Shephard, B. B. King, Gene Autry and dozens of other artists (even the old General Douglas MacArthur stops by for a short performance!). - Rarely heard documentary audio material, including patriotic public service announcements, field news reports and even a plea for blood donations from Howdy Doody! - A richly illustrated, colorfully illustrated book with detailed artist and song notes as well as a history of the Korean War. Audio mastering and the layout for 'Battleground Korea' was recently completed and we can now announce the release of this project for Bear Family (where it belongs) at the end of March 2018. The bound book will appear in a sturdy slipcase (approx. 28 x 28 cm) similar to the current Woody Guthrie 'Tribute Concerts' set. There will be detailed background information on each of the approximately 100 songs included in the edition, as well as artist biographies and extra chapters with transcriptions of the texts, illustrated with photos of that time, advertisements, flyers, magazines, record sleeves, book covers and other memorabilia. Among the book's special chapters are an interview with Frankie Miller, recalling his time in Korea, and a ninepage section with photos and newspaper headlines describing Marilyn Monroe's visit to the troops.
