"God Bless the USA" by Redhead Express

 


I'll admit that today's cover is cliched AF.  

But, I'm sure that today being today, it was more or less expected.

Sacramento, California area singer/songwriter/poultry farmer Lee Greenwood's 1984 over the top schmaltzy for the states "God Bless the USA" became the de facto soundtrack for recovery efforts following the 2001 terrorist attack in New York City.

In 2015, the song was remade by alt-country Palmer, Alaska siblings Redhead Express.

Palmer is roughly 40 miles Northeast of Anchorage, so, no.... you cannot see Russia from the Redhead Express house.
