Rhythm of Honor CD
Rhythm of Honor is a compilation CD produced by Janet Fisher of Goodnight Kiss. It is a tribute to the men and women of the American Armed Forces. Many of the songs were written and performed by men and women who have served, or have some other close affiliation with the Armed Forces.
The first track, "Ain't Nobody To Dance With," by Rod Henderson (Vietnam Veteran), opens with a few bars from the "Star Spangled Banner," then transitions to a few bars from "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," before it makes the final transition to a Motown rock song. It is a tribute to the troops serving in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
Another favorite track is "My Kind of Man" by Courtney Leigh Heins & Bryan Dobbs, which has a bit of a country feel to it as it rock's out. Entertaining lyrics and excellent vocal deliveries as she sings about what is her kind of man.
"A Ballad of Junior" by Alton Rex is the heartfelt ballad that tells the true story of one man who returned from war, in this case World War 2, and how it changed him forever. It is a sad, but very moving song about Rex's uncle. Rex served in the Navy before turning to songwriting. He regularly performs free concerts for veterans at VA hospitals.
The eleven songs that make up Rhythm of Honor are a worthy tribute to all who serve their country.
Goodnight Kiss is donating 50 cents from the sale of every CD to the Wounded Warriors Hospital Fund, which provides support to the families of soldiers wounded or killed in combat operations.

I think this record is terrific! It has every style of music, just as there is every style of soldier. The original songs all show a sense of noble purpose; some are staggeringly serious, a couple are just good fun, i.e., MY KIND OF MAN.
I also love SOLDIER'S DAUGHTER (you can request that song for free from the company, if you pass it on to three friends!) and THAT'S WHAT HE DID. Actually all the songs are really well-written and touch the heart.
I gifted this CD via iTunes, to military family and friends overseas this year, and they really liked it.
Considering a cup of coffee at Starbuck's runs about five bucks, with tax, this CD (under fifteen bucks) is a REAL bargin -- and lasts a lot longer than 3 cups of coffee!
God bless all our troops.

Amen to that, and thanks for the tip on iTunes.
