You seem to have missed the point of this post. I like songs about history. Al Stewart is the preeminent voice of historical songs.

Can you think of any others? Most other songs about history sing of war and the battles or the aftermath. Very few artists can write a song about the days before a war.... or the lazy days during a war:

Johnny Horten?
