Exhibiting the breadth and depth of soldiers performing country music under their banner, To The Fallen Records Presents Country: Volume I features moving portrayals of the varied experiences of both active soldiers and veterans of combat, while embracing everything from plaintive rural ballads to gritty Southern rock jams. Highlights include "Empty Boots" by Josh Revak, who wrote the haunting tribute to his fallen comrades after a tour in Iraq, and finds the singer-songwriter in the company of A-list Nashville studio musicians. Meanwhile, "Hero" showcases the incredible talent of rising star Keni Thomas, a former Army Ranger who was awarded the Bronze Star for Valor and the Combat Infantryman's Badge before plunging into a successful music career that has found him touring internationally and opening for such top artists as Keith Urban, Brad Paisley and Lynyrd Skynyrd. These are just two of the many moving songs from the heartland's finest soldier-songwriters featured on To The Fallen Records Presents Country: Volume I.
