New Contest – Win An Autographed CD From The Boot Campaign’s ‘When They Come Back – We Give Back’ CD

About a week ago, I received four copies of the Boot Campaign’s CD called When They Come Back We Give Back. It is without a doubt one of the best compilation CD’s I’ve ever heard. If you’re not familiar with the Boot Campaign, please check out this post from a little while back.

In a nutshell, “The Boot Girls,” Ginger, Leigh Ann, Sherri, Heather and Mariae banned together one fateful night in Tyler, Texas to launch The Boot Campaign giving gratitude and appreciation for the American military. The initiative is quickly gaining awareness with the repertoire of boot images expanding every day.

The Boot Girls ask Americans to put their boots on during the routine of daily life to symbolically walk in the shoes of our military men and women, remembering their service and sacrifice. The Campaign’s signature boots are available for purchase online with proceeds benefitting organizations like The Lone Survivor Foundation.

It’s an awesome initiative, and as I mentioned earlier, they’ve put together an awesome CD. Check out this track listing:

Stoney LaRue Performing ‘Down In Flames’ (Live)

I just received some autographed copies of When They Come Back… We Give Back, a CD supporting the Boot Campaign. It is one of the best compilation CD’s I’ve heard in a long, long time. One of the songs on the disk is an awesome live version of Stoney LaRue performing Down in Flames. For a taste of what you’ll hear on the album, check out this video of Stoney performing the song live during Texas Mardis Gras last year.
