 Cold War Country Blues is Track 2 from Bap’s album Howl On. You can read HERE Bap's notes about the album in full, and what inspired it. Bap also wrote a few lines about each of the songs individually - Here’s what he wrote about Cold War Country Blues: Was there a Space Race instead of a nuclear war between Russia and America? Maybe. The frontiersmen who went to the moon took country music to new heights. The pay was terrible but the view was incredible. - Bap Kennedy, 2009 And in case you're wondering, they really did "take Hank Williams to the moon" - Among the music that the astronauts took on their lunar journeys were the songs of Bap's song writing hero, Hank Williams.

A while back I came across some notes that Bap wrote before he released Howl On. You can read here his notes on the album as a whole, and what inspired it (clue : America, Glastonbury, Woodstock, Men on the Moon, Howl On & Cosmic Coincidence!) But he also wrote a few lines about each song individually, so here's what Bap wrote about America (Track 1): On the night of July 20th 1969, I tried to stay awake for the first Moonwalk, but the comforting and reassuring cowboy voices from Mission Control lulled me into a peaceful sleep. In my seven year old mind, all good things came from America. I wanted to be American and live in the sunshine.
