JOHN WAYNE

“America Why I Love Her”

Original First Issue 1973 U.S Pressed “Stereo” Lp Featuring The Legendary U.S Actor “John Wayne”. 

John Wayne Passed Away More Than 20 Years Ago, And His Spoken Word Recording Was Last Available At That Time. Even Though “America Why I Love Her” Is Long Gone, The Patriotic Album With A Title Track Paying Homage To The Matchless Beauty And Bounty Of The U.S. Was Remembered By Many Of The Nation's Citizens, Especially In The Wake Of The Tragic Terrorist Attacks Against The U.S. That Took Place On September 11, 2001. Radio Stations Dug Out Their Copies And Proudly Aired The Duke's Voice As He Recited The Poetry Of Fellow Actor “John Mitchum” (Brother Of Robert) From Alaska's Cold To The Everglades/From The Rio Grande To Maine/My Heart Cries Out, My Pulse Runs Fast/At The Might Of Her Domain." In The Days And Weeks Following The Attacks, It Was Easy To Comprehend The Appeal Of A Recording That Hailed A Kansas Sunset Or An Arizona Rain And Other Details Unique To Each State In The Union. It Would Be Just As Easy To Assume That In 1973, When The Album Was First Released, That The Recording Held Appeal Only To Die-Hard Patriots And Fans Of The Actor — Not So.

According To One Story About How The Macho Wayne Came To Record Poetry, The Patriotic Words Made His Eyes Well With Tears The First Time He Heard Them, And He Vowed On The Spot To Record Them. Unfortunately, The Declining State Of Wayne's Health Resulted In Some Delays, And Three Years Passed Before The Album Was Finished
