Corb Lund – Horse Soldier Horse Soldier [LP]

Horse Soldier! Horse Soldier! Was originally released in 2007, and will finally be back in print on vinyl for the first time outside of Canada. On this album, Lund took a turn from his previous writing topics and settled on one theme for this record: historical military songs. “The Horse Soldier album apparently came out of left field for people,” said Lund. “We had just come off two straight gold records which both surprised me in terms of their commercial success. I just kept writing what I was feeling, and what I was feeling was a bunch of military history songs (apologies to Johnny Horton and Steve Earle). I’m really proud of sticking to my guns and releasing this album just how I envisioned it because to this day I have people tell me all the time that of all our records this is their favourite. It seems to be a very interesting mirror for the listener. Many people have told me they love it as an ‘anti-war’ record yet I’ve also had a ton of feedback from military guys, retired and active, who appreciate the acknowledgement of their work. I don’t know, maybe it’s both. I didn’t really have an agenda in mind at all when I wrote it other than presenting a bunch of war stories from different perspectives.”This limited edition release is part of the Corb Lund – Dark Horses Club. New West Records will be releasing unreleased records and material from Corb Lund throughout 2025 and 2026.
