Nina Jo Smith - Take Me Back to Tennessee

9. “Take Me Back to Tennessee” (Nina Jo Smith Redwood River Music (BMI))
Uptempo drums and banjo. It cooks. Slightly spooky.
A confederate conscript wounded in the Battle of Franklin, Tennessee is dying as a prisoner of war in Ohio. He’s becoming ghost as he narrates his story. Researching my dad’s side of the family, I discovered a man who’d died as a POW in Ohio. Hmm. We like to think our ancestors were the good guys in their times. I think it’s good to bring the darkness to light.
