Johnny Horton was a school teacher and he used songs like this to help his pupils remember history.
Since you enjoyed this one, you'll enjoy "Battle of New Orleans". Johnny was a very good story teller and had a beautiful voice too. Loved watching you enjoy this song❤❤
"North To Alaska" and "Jim Bridger" are two other of his great historical songs. (And if you never heard it, check out the Blues Brothers cover of this.) ua-cam.com/video/7CPXnur0vMs/v-deo.html
I was going to say this too. Everyone make this blow up so he'll se it.
Yes! I remember sitting in my grandparents front porch listening to Battle of New Orleans.
My dad played a lot of the singing American, so I have fond memories of his music, battle of New Orleans is one of my ringtones.
Also battle of bull run
His North to Alaska is also worth your time…
Yes it is fantastic and love that John Wayne movie as well.🥰
My favorite
Some of the lyrics from Johnny Horton’s Battle of New Orleans. “So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round.
We filled his head with cannon balls and powdered his behind.
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind. “
Lol. My favorite but I also love North to Alaska
Johnny Horton is my 2nd cousin, his Mom was my Grandma's Sister. I had 4 uncles that looked and sounded like him.
Johnny Horton was one of the great storytellers of my childhood. The Bismarch was released in 1960 and was based on actual facts.
It was his 2nd highest hit after "The Battle of New Orleans".
The beat of the military drums 🥁 is setting up the marching beat which is addictive. Great song. Great reaction Craig. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Hi Mary . 🇨🇦✨✨✨✨
@@trevorgwelch7412 Cheers Trevor. 👍✌️🎶🇨🇦
Johnny Horton surely made any patriotic Brit proud in 1960. Even as an American, I am so proud of the British Navy when I hear this Johnny Horton ballad.
I've always enjoyed this Country singer's songs. Johnny Horton has always been good at singing history and he really puts feeling into each one. His voice is unique. He died way too soon in a car accident.
He married Hank Williams legal Widow, Billie Jean.
So Billie Jean was married to two Country legends and lost them both.
Johnny Horton was a national treasure. He's buried near my great-grandparents in Bossier City, Louisiana. His grave had been marked by a guitar in a glass case, but I'm pretty sure it has been gone for quite a while. His song "Battle of New Orleans" is one of the first songs we learned as children and still comes to mind from time to time.
I was 12 when this song came out. The war wasnt that far in the past, and everyone loved this song. It was a great post war song of victory and made everyone feel good.
He was married to Hank Williams widow. Whispering Pines is one of my favorite songs by him.
I grew up listening to him. Still have this record❤
So do I. It was my dads.
Always enjoyed Johnny Horton, but the best is the Battle of New Orleans. By the way, it was almost the only battle America won in the War of 1812. Oops, the peace treaty had already been signed, but word had not yet reached New Orleans.
Song and delivery are fun.
Can't understand why people never mention some of his absolutely superb songs: The Golden Rocket, Got the Bull By the Horns, Out in New Mexico, Take Me Like I Am, Counterfeit Love, First Train Headin' South, I'm Ready If You're Willing, I'm a Honky Tonk Man, Ole Slewfoot. Everyone of these songs is pure fire. Johnny's voice was dynamite!.
I would guess most people have not listened to his albums, but man…. He has quite the library! So good!
The Battle of New Orleans, Johnny Reb, Ballad of The Green Berets
The Ballad of the Green Berets was by S.Sgt. Barry Saddler.
@@richdiddens4059 I seen the movie,when way too young.
The scene where the wall of dpikes hit the soldier, buried head in back seat of car and did not watch for a while.
Just look up Johnny Horton and just listen to it all, they are all good. My daughter passed a test because of the song battle of New Orleans.
Johnny Horton's "Battle of New Orleans" is a MUST listen!
Johnny Horton was a History Teacher.
No he wasn't. The writer of the Battle of New Orleans was. His name was Jimmy Driftwood.
"Subject that ain't brought up often." What you talking about Bismark by Sabaton was released three years ago. If you ain't seen the official video yet you should helped animated by World of Warships. The ship appearing out of the mist next to the fishing boat is just amazing.
I wrote a song many moons ago called a Soldier cried a silent tear last night on the deck of the ship my first song I wrote at age 11 is called when you have love last year I wrote a mother's day song called mama you are not alone and this year I wrote a father's day song called Dad you are more than a Dad a friend but your a Hero a super man a teacher you will never know just how much you mean to me and how special you are gone but not forgotten my Native Indigenous dad fought in Vietnam and Korea I lost him in 2005i miss him so much I miss having a dad to call me on my birthday in mother's day at Christmas time giving each other gifts he loved buffalo meat and fry bread I loved chocolates from around the world cause when he was in the war he would send me chocolates and cookies from around the world
Johnny was an amazing story teller about everything from the American civil war to gold rush..etc
When informed by school teachers that her 3 children were struggling with history, our Mom bought this album as she knew music was a motivator for us. I love Johnny Horton to this day. We kids not only learned from this album but our Mother as well as she remembered events from this album as well as being a room mother escort to my fourth grade field trip to Jamestown, Va. The knowledge she learned helped her achieve her US Citizenship with only a fourth grade education. She is 90 years old now and sharp as a tack, not to mention my hero❣️. Try Comanche from this same album. It’s about Custer’s horse at Little Big Horn.
Johnny Horton made a lot of good songs about American history, such as 'Battle of New Orleans, 'Comanche the Brave Horse,' and my favorite, 'Jim Bridger.' The Blues Brothers recorded 'Sink the Bismarck' for the Bob's Country Bunker scene, but it wasn't used in the movie. There is a rough audio recording on youtube, if you're interested.
No one brought you closer to history than Johnny Horton, another shooting star! Died in a car accident at the height of his career. My favorite Rockabilly singer of all time. His music is unique. Try some of his non historical songs; “I’m A One Woman Man”, (cover by George Jones, which is said to have saved his sagging career) Honky-Tonk Man, (cover by Dwight Yoakam) “Cherokee Boogie “, (cover by BR549) and “Whispering Pines” (covered by lots of artists). There’s many more. Enjoy, and I love your site! A little side note He was married to Hank Williams’ widowed wife!
You gotta hear "johnny Reb" and "John Paul Jones" all his songs are just like this one good beat and a fun history lesson
At one point someone (I can't remember who) in the British government offered a Victoria cross ( under 1400 ever awarded in 170 years) to anyone who sank the Bismarck or its sister ship tirpitz. That's how big of a threat they were
“All For the Love of a Girl” is one of my favorite Johnny Horton songs.
I learned a lot of history from Johnny Horton songs, but one the best heartbreak songs is his “Whispering Pines”
Such a beautiful song❤❤❤
Whispering pines is one of my personal favorites, I just turned 49 and remember listening to Johnny Horton on reel-to-reel when I was like 3 on a system my dad brought back from Vietnam, and if I could sing like anyone man it would be Johnny Horton without a question
The great-uncle of a friend served on the Bismarck. He died at 18. All that he left were a few letters 😢.
Horton was a history teacher who wrote songs to in terest his students and help them remember.
That song comes from an album called "Johnny Horton Makes History." It's mostly battle songs. There's a great song about John Paul Jones.
Craig you should check out Gordon Lightfoot and The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. He’s a Canadian folk singer and this is the story of a cargo freighter that sank on Lake Superior in 1957 during a storm. Great song. He also sings Sundown which is another that you should hear.
I had a great uncle on The HMS Hood as a stoker 1st class who went down with his ship. RIP Lawrence Crowley.
He did another great song "battle of New Orleans!" (Actually fought 2 weeks after the war was over!")
PT 109 is another good "history" song. Also, Big John.
The vast majority of his songs are of this style or similar, a deviation I can think of that I enjoy a lot is All for the Love of a Girl, though still has that folksy story telling tinge it's a bit softer and uses a choir backing.
These are basically folk and very certain country artists for those kinds of songs, big names in that with their own spins include Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash, one that's currently working who does great folksy country is Colter Wall, who is Canadian but does his music in the style of Appalachia which is where a lot of American folk is rooted from, which in turn was seeded from Scotland in a lot of initial cultural heritage but much it's own thing.
A lot of folk is all about telling a story with music, even if wordless, and country derived from it. These are very much folk music with some extra touches. I believe folk of all countries is underappreciated, of course I myself am invested in American folk specifically.
Johnny Horton did several songs of this type. Some examples are:
North To Alaska
Battle of New Orleans
Jim Bridger
Johnny Reb
Johnny Freedom
He also did several ballads and love songs
When It's Springtime in Alaska
Whisperin Pines
He died young in a car wreck so sadly we only have a few years of his amazing talent. So glad the recordings preserve it. Thanks for the reaction. I'd check out one of the historical songs and one of the ballads. I think Whisperin' Pines is one of my dad's favorite songs.
If you've never heard it, battle of bull run and Comanche are great songs too
@@curtiscriscoe367 Thanks I think I've heard of Comanche, but not sure. Pretty sure I've not heard Battle of bull run.
He was a history teacher. Can you imagine?
Craig, I was watching your reaction with anticipation - it isn't what you'd expect in a song about WWII, but Johnny Horton had a great way with words and delivery! Can't wait until you react to "The Battle of New Orleans!" That one should raise your eyebrows and get a chuckle from you! Thanks for the song and reaction!!
It's amazing that only 3 men survived the sinking of the HMS Hood
Johnny was a wonderful story teller, He did a song called The Battle of New Orleans, North To Alaska, Johnny Reb, Comanche. Another great story teller is Marty Robbins is the Western Genre and Tom T Hall
What a great 👍 old song. Johnny Horton has a lot of great songs.
I think the upbeat sound with the drums is like a marching song. Rally the troops.
I love Johnny Horton.
My favorite of his is "Battle of New Orleans" (January 8, 1815) which is his interpretation of the U.S. kicking the British out of our country the 2nd time (even though due to delay in dispatches the battle actually occurred after the War of 1812's official end).
Johnny Horton's songs were great stories! Battle of New Orleans and North to Alaska!
Thank you! I look forward to seeing more Johnny Horton. He had a unique way of setting history to music. Battle of New Orleans and Johnny Reb are a couple of my favorites, but I enjoy all his music.
Your in for a treat. Johnny sang history like no one else. My favourites are North to Alaska about the Klondike gold rush, The Battle of New Orleans, Jim Bridger about opening the west. Etc….
Comanche the Brave Horse is another amazing song of his. I could name his songs all day lol
Love Johnny Horton. One of my favorites is Whispering Pines.
Johnny reb and battle of New Orleans are a couple of my favorite songs from Johnny Horton.
This came out in 1960 and was on the early rock and country charts. The Marching theme was more common back then.
It's similar to a Christmas classic song
Snoopy and The Red Baron.
It's not Country more folk but I believe you would enjoy
Wreck of the Edmonton Fitzgerald is a song by Gordon Lightfoot. It is also a true story.
A little backstory on Johnny Horton he was a high school history teacher and started writing songs so his students could learn history with Johnny's upbeat story telling and song writing style the students were able to retain the history lessons better
You're mixing him up with the writer of The Battle of New Orleans, Jimmy Driftwood. He was a history teacher in Arkansas and wrote a huge number of history based songs.
Listen to his rendition of JIM BRIDGER....FANTASIC!!!
I have listened to Johnny Horton for as long as I can remember. This song is probably in my top 5 favorites .
Show the faith, fortitude of the Brits! None quite like you! Love you all!!
Oh my gosh! As a little girl I had such a crush on Johnny Horton. Over the years, I wore out 2 LP's of his Greats Hits. Loved the song I'm a One Woman Man. He married Hank William's widow and he died in an accident in 1960. Johnny Cash was one of the speakers at his funeral. Just some history for you. Thanks for the reaction!
Hey, check out the Battle of New Orleans! You'll love it lol :D Oh, and "Commanche (the Brave Horse)". I attended the United States Military Academy at West Point, and after General Custer's last stand, the only survivor was his horse, Commanche, who was cared for by a company of soldiers at West Point until it reached the end of its venerable life.
A catchy, yet simplification, telling of the story. Always loved this song
grew up listening to horton and others, it was a different age for sure.
Yes Johnny Horton made learning history fun. LOL😅
Americans loves winner. Did good Brits.
My Dad played this for us on long car trips in our 1968 Ford station wagon. We LOVED it.
Johnny Horton was a marvelous singer, story teller. Great history in alot of his songs..
You need to hear all of his.
Battle of New Orleans next please, it's totally different.
Comanche the Brave Horse is one often over looked.
If I remember correctly, contributing to the Bismarck's demise were two torpedo hits from Tiger Moth biplanes. Corrections are invited. I remember hearing that song on the radio as a lad. It's truly a blast from the past.
I've read Fairey Swordfish biplanes deamaged their rudder and allowed slower British ships to catch up.
@@samuelwoods7463 I remember marvelling that biplanes were still used at that late date. Thank you kindly for the correction.
Torpedoes had to go in the water slow for a smooth run.
@@samuelwoods7463 Those torpedo bomber crew had big brass ones. "Here I am, low and slow. Shoot me! Shoot me!"
If you were really good, come in lower than their guns could depress. Or coordinated with dive bombers, so they were shooting up.
It’s easier to remember your history lessons when they’re put to music. Horton taught History!
Awesome!!
North to Alaska was my personal favorite of Johnnys.. I was 6 when this came out. I had a habit of memorizing songs quickly (still can at 65). Made great being in Church choir all my life. Love my Johnny Horton!!
He was a great ballad singer. The Mansion I Owned.
Correction Mansion You Stole
This is how I learned American/World history - the teacher would play a song we were all familiar with, tell us the story and then play the song again. It holds children’s attention much longer when you add some fun to it. 🤷♀️
Please do more JOHNNY HORTON he sings so many great songs and teaches so much history , John Paul Jones is a good one or The Battle of New Orleans though it is about us fighting the British it was a long time ago and we are all friends now :)
Since you like this song, I recommend my Johnny Horton's "Battle of New Orleans", which is my favorite Johnny Horton song...
The destruction of the German Super ship was a call of national pride for the British, it was seen as being a mission of utmost importance as both symbolic but also to clear the sea of the Bismarck
My 8th grade history teacher played Johnny Horton's songs "The Battle of New Orleans" and "Johnny Reb" in class. Johnny Horton really is a great storyteller which is what History used to be going back to Homer and Virgil, the telling of stories by bards of old.
Other songs he did like this, Johnny Reb, Comanche the Brave Horse, Johnny Freedom, Jim Bridger. You might give a listen to The Battle of New Orleans, but, you may feel a bit like a German listening to this one.
I've been hoping to hear you play some Johnny Horton. The Reuben James is another good one about a ship at sea. He also sang beautiful love songs..All For the Love of a Girl, and my Moms favorite, Whispering Pines. Such a beautiful voice.
Great work by Johnny Horton. The beat is inspirational.
There's a video on UA-cam of Johnny Horton singing a British version of The Battle of New Orleans.
Looking at the photo of the Bismark, I think the lyrics should have been "Those shells as big as steers; those guns as big as trees." I mean look at those long guns folded across the front of the ship -- trees, not steers.
I play my 8 tracks all the time. Being from Alaska of course my favorite songs are North To Alaska, When It's Springtime In Alaska and Johnny Reb...I have my 1960 Film on VHS " North To Alaska " starring John Wayne and teen heart throb singer Fabian.. about the Alaska Gold Rush. Johnny Hortons North To Alaska is the movies theme song.. check it out. I dont know if it is even available on dvd....
He has many great songs. Alot are like this one
Johnny was a unique country artist for sure, he was all about story telling, another one of those great story tellers from way back in the day was Red Sovine
Johnny Horton is one of the greatest. Should also check out Jimmy Dean, Marty Robbins, and Hank Williams. One of my favorite classic country sounds is Swamp Witch by Jim Stanford
My Dad was in WW2 and loved the story from Johnny Horton. They felt these kind of songs were good for country morale.
Love 95% of everything you do. And 5% I still watch! Love your reactions!
Johnny Horton was a fantastic songwriter and singer. He was taken from us way to soon, I am sure he had a lot more to share. Most of his songs were like this, touch of history and a lot of fun. I agree with everyone else,.... "Battle of New Orleans" must be next! It is about a battle in the War of 1812 in the US, and even though it is against the bloody british, I think you would love it!! Thanks again!! 😃
Johnny Horton was a fantastic singer and storyteller! I have an old audio cassette tape of his best hits. I bought it way back in the 1980's, have played it countless times, and it still plays yet today! I love this song, "Battle of New Orleans," "North to Alaska" (theme song of the John Wayne movie of the same title), "Comanche," "Jim Bridger," "Whispering Pines," "Springtime in Alaska," "Johnny Freedom," "All for the Love of a Girl," and more!
Enjoy this video. My dad was in World War II and drove a tank, but I have never heard of this particular battleship.
My aunt was the one who introduced me or the family to these songs. We've been hearing this song at least once a day when she was cleaning the house and whatnot. There are more but I would need to hear them to remember completely.
I had one of Johnny Horton's albums as a child in the late 50's. He was active 1950-1960. Check out "The Battle of New Orleans, North to Alaska, All for the Love of a Girl, When It's Springtime in Alaska, Comanche" They are all great.
Wish more people would react to this
Johnny Horton has long been a favorite of mine, and this song is among my favorites! I just don't think he released a bad song. Being a resident and a native of Wyoming, his song Jim Bridger is another of my Johnny Horton favorites. Wyoming is full of Jim Bridger history!
You should check out all of his songs they are soooooo AMAZING
Check out Johnny Hortons other songs of history. I grew up listening to his music in the 60's.
You should do Tex Ritters Deck of Cards. It tells such a beautiful story and I promise, it will leave you thinking.
Gosh, I haven't heard this one in years! Love Johnny Horton's music .... my favorite of his is "Whispering Pines".
I had never heard this before, I agree what a unique song,
If you like John Wayne movies, watch "North to Alaska". It's a good & very funny movie. Johnny Horton sings the theme song. The song "North to Alaska" goes right along with the story of the movie. You will enjoy both of them!
I learned a lot of history listening to country music. It made studying in school so much easier. He does a song about the Little Big Horn- Comanche and the battle of new Orleans
If you want to hear a unique way of storytelling you should definitely check out the Battle of New Orleans. One of my other favorites is Comanche (The Brave Horse)
