- White Mansions is a 1978 album by various artists documenting life in the Confederacy during the Civil War. The songs on the album were written by Paul Kennerley and are performed by Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter, John Dillon and Steve Cash. Each singer took on a separate and distinct persona, portraying different characters in an attempt to show the Confederacy and the concept of "Southern pride" through said characters' eyes; in essence, therefore, White Mansions is a concept album. Eric Clapton played the guitar on several tracks. The album charted at No. 38 on the Country Billboard and No. 181 on the Billboard Albums.
The album was re-released in 1999 in a two-for-one package with The Legend of Jesse James, a 1980 concept album conceived by Kennerley.
I am so proud to born in Arkansas where we still believe in our southern ways and rights.
my people were from Va., Tn and ALA, proud to be a Confederate daughter
God bless Dixie and God bless the South! Keep those flags flying y'all and keep fighting the good fight....
Damn right brother if they want hell theyl get it my last breath n bullet
Proud southern here!!
I'm a NATIVE VIRGINIAN with 240+ years of heritage here, AND MANY CONFEDERATE ANCESTORS on both sides of my family. I'm I proud?? DANG STRAIGHT!! Blue Ridge Mountains, THE REAL VIRGINIA!! DEO VINDICE!!
The old dominion is occupied but the remnant remains.
Jesus! Such a fine music!
My father is my friend. Doesn't mean I have to agree. Beautiful music..
This goes right to my heart. My family fought and bled for the South. Proud SCV here.

My great grand paps both fout FOR the tuploo fusalers
country boy 1970 my grandson is Clifton Charles Hamby. His Hamby side is from Central Mississippi.
Same brother. 13 Kimbro’s fought. Mostly for the legendary Army of Tennessee! The union treated their soldiers as expendable pawns, but ours were men, fighting for something.
I just moved to Texas after 30yrs of living in California and I finally know why I never felt right there- California ain’t America anymore but the south still is and always was the heart of this nation. Being a native of Indiana I was taught the sickening narrative that the civil war was a triumph of good against evil and even more so in California schools-
Such a load of lies. It wasn’t until I was in infantry school in Ft. Benning that I was given a copy of “Rebel private front and rear” and later read the book “Jack Hinson, One Man War” that I began to see the southern perspective and question the bullshit I’d been taught about the war between the states. It’s that realization that 28yrs later brought me here to the best part of America. So yeah, HELL YEAH Waylon!
Hold on Dixie...
When you fight a war you get to write the history. There was no civil war. Look up the definition of a civil war. It was the War for Southern Independence. It was about slave issues but mainly about import tariffs and the US government using those revenues to build up Northern industry and the railroads. "Abolitionists" in the northeast really wanted control the market for the world's best cotton (Southern long fiber). They wanted to keep the South from selling it to the UK and France. They wanted it for their textile mills. And Lincoln didn't give a shit about slaves but he was smart enough to use the issue to keep Great Britain from entering the war on the side of the Confederacy. He actually wanted to send them to a country solely set up for that purpose (Liberia). The irony of it all is that now the liberal states say that the South is what is keeping them from reaching their utopian socialist state. Liberals in places like California think they should succeed from the Union because they can't get their way on many issues. Let them. No one will miss them. Now don't get me wrong. I love the weather and beauty of that state. But the people who run it are idiots who are running it into the ground.
@@tortugabob only reason Lincoln emancipated the slaves was because he was getting whipped by the csa and then so he did it to try to start a slave rebellion but a good majority of slaves had good relationships with there masters ofc a lot didint anyways Lincoln had to morally justify his cause for invading the south to the north and to the rest of the worlds major powers such as britan and France mind you britan had 4000 men ready on the Canadian border the whole time ready to join but the north relied on slaves even goin as far as trying to compromise with south by allowing them to keep the slaves but also hold the insanely high taxes at the time but they said no because it wasent about slavery
no one will understand what happend through those years. this song is the closest thing and gets down to detail.the whole album expresses it the way it ought to be. once you listen to one song your hooked you have got 2 listen to it all. my dad got me a tape with the album on it. i cherished that tape. my favorite song was "the king has called me home". i loved the album and if anyone gets as good as waylon you sould honestly tell someone because not many come like him
God bless you sir, never let the flag touch the floor
God bless Dixie and God bless General lee; Dem we proud of the SOUTH
Love the white mansions album
Waylon kicks arse in this song
My grand uncle died in the war 😢
God bless the Confederacy
This is one of the Great Great unheard of records. Credits, everybody and l mean everybody played on this recording. Ozark Mtn, Waylon/Jessie incredible story here.
I remember thinking when I first bought this album that it would be a great basis for a movie -- a civil war musical. I discarded the thought as unworkable. But now I'm not too sure about that. The music and lyrics and the story characters they represent provide great and solid guidelines. Yeah... it could be done. All that's needed are screenplay rights and about a $70 million dollar budget and the determination to say that nothing is unworkable.
This is a fantastic collection I know about most of the songs as i love them. I never new there was a
Thank you Darby glad you had a nice time here hope you like our rain oh and we still use miles! Hooray ! Would love to see your civil war sites such a tragic loss of life just like the great war here ( 1st world war) to you .Cheers bud 😃
waylon had had it right thumbs up
@sugarfoot59 LOL, LOL, I like it! It was short, sweet and very much to the point.
Two great great uncles captain in the army of the Tennessee another captain in the army of Northern Virginia
In todays time, Dixie would have destroyed the North.
Stars n bars flyin high bible n 44 by my bed ill hold on to my last breath
@WestTexasRebel Right on!!
Oooh ..Dixie hold on.
The South will rise again.
The whole thing from 1820 till 1865 is amazingly complex! The pot popped its lid in the West, not the East.
@takethehighway711 I tend to think the same way, as most think that the War was strictly over slavery, but in reality, slavery was only PART of the problem, but nonetheless, it was a PART of the problem, and I cannot say it wasn't. History will show, that although slavery had it's impact, the animosity toward each other of the sections, was existing long before the 1860's, and included much more than just the slavery issue.
sugarfoot59 the war was only over slavery when Lincoln realized he couldn't win if the south kept getting backed by Britain which outlawed slavery years before the war
Like all wars over money. Some will say most wars were over religion, however organized religion, and that’s money too. Very very sad.
@WestTexasRebel Amen, brother!!
@takethehighway711 With the other states opening up, it was more to do with maintaining the stutus quo of the ruling class, than the freedom of any slave [much as slavery is to be deplored ] Lincoln only granted freedom to the slaves in the South , not the Northern slaves.
WAYLON IS Right ON , 😅
Go down fighting!
My fore father's fought for the South too. We didn't own slaves
willie , waylon , merle , paycheck , jones , and me
@takethehighway711 well slavery was an issue, just not THE issue, the issue with slavery was > who was to decide it< the fed or the states. this was the only reason slavery was an issue. the south understood if you loose this fight then next you have the fed meddeling in the schools and in private life as in abortion and marriage as we see today.. these issues are social morale issues which are left to the states by the constitution and not given to the fed. but now have been taken over by them.
I ain't looking and ya can't make me.
@takethehighway711 You are right the unions way is was an ignorant decision.
ok take all the politics out of it who see s the music for what it is fantastic.
ps: The (Free Staters). The fact of them is that if slavery came west, then white settlers would be denied work by a (free slave labour) institution.........This must confuse black folks alot! = Not every "Yankee" was a copy of John Brown!
Hey amcelt, if you can get the money and get Shooter Jennings (Waylon's son) involved, then you've got something.
hey there little yankee boy
Kinda sad from reading the comments below, seems to me the wounds of this tragic and terrible event are not healed to this day
the civil war wasn’t tragic the ending was
Augustus IV I don't understand that answer, though I did notice you used the word tragic, have you read the comments? North and South still exist. The battle is over, but the war go on
Lee was a double agent and sold us out to them with his planned "surrender"😅
GLYN JOHNS !!!
LONG LIVE THE KLAN AND THE REBELS YELL! R.I.P. OUR GRAND WIZARD NATHAN BEDFORD FORREST.
¿ say my name
Comments..lol.. don't matter cause politicians gonna have there way right or wrong!!!👈fact..$$$$$$
Fuck the confederacy forever but I love this album goddamn
Hahahha more work in the south then in the north ....
and the north is still strong rofl dixie will never rise again hahaha
We have Atlanta, and you have Detroit. Enjoy yourself Aaron (a moron).
Let’s be realistic. The only way the south would ever consider rising up again is if the total collapse of the United States were to take place. Even then they would have a hard time rebuilding from the rubble of a fallen empire.
@WestTexasRebel Amen, brother!
