America Why I Love Her So

John Wayne

1st Segment:  Jon Ruetz with John Wayne “America Why I Love Her So”

Wayne reads Mitchum’s poetry with backing from an orchestra and choir. Billy Liebert arranged and conducted the orchestra and also produced the album. In an interview upon the album’s release, Wayne explained his attraction to the material: “John Mitchum thinks like I think and writes like I wish I could.” Wayne added that he hoped that the album would cause “a little bit of rapport between everybody in our country.”
