Each year, we celebrate Independence Day with songs from the GreenBookofSongs.com® category Holidays: Fourth of July. Our choice this year isn’t about fireworks or picnics, but instead about flags, history and the qualities of freedom those Revolutionary War soldiers fought to secure for us.

1. Here Comes The Freedom Train Merle Haggard; Capitol Collectors Series-Merle Haggard (Capitol)
2. Ragged Old Flag Johnny Cash; Patriot (Columbia)
3. Shot Heard Round The World Creator Kids; Startup History (Creator Kids)
4. This Is My Country Mormon Tabernacle Choir; Greatest Hits (Columbia)
5. This Is My Country Curtis Mayfield & The Impressions; Curtis Mayfield-The Anthology-1961-1977 (MCA)
6. You’re A Grand Old Glad John Peterson; George M. Cohan Tonight! (Sh-k-boom) 

Happy Fourth of July!
