Vicksburg

. Vicksburg (Steve Gulley/Alan Bibey Gulley’s Curve Music/LoarTone Publishing, BMI)

11. Vicksburg – I had the idea and concept for this song for at least two years. I had actually started writing it but just couldn’t seem to finish it. Then, on a trip to France in 2010, I asked Alan to help me with the song during our downtime. The timing was right and we finished it in no time. It tells the story of the Union army’s taking of Vicksburg and the cruelty of war. Adam’s fiddle really helps paint the picture on this one. – Steve
