Newly-Acquired Songs and Research by Kent Syler, Special Projects Coordinator, Albert Gore Research Center
In a state with such a rich musical heritage, it seems natural that music has played an important role in Tennessee politics as much as other, more familiar, areas of the state’s culture. We invite you to explore the many facets of political songs and jingles in Tennessee and American history.
