Anderson,
whose half-century of songwriting hits range from “City Lights” to
“Whiskey Lullaby” and “Give It Away,” wrote and recorded “Old Army Hat”
after hearing about a visit 91-year-old Army veteran Ed Haley made to
the World War II memorial in Washington, D. C.
As
was his usual, Haley wore his Army hat for the occasion—and that’s
where the drama the song and video chronicle starts.  The last scene
will have you reaching for the Kleenex.
Still
touring, recording and starring on the Grand Ole Opry, the eternally
youthful Anderson is famous for the emotional intensity he brings to his
songs.  His intimate and confiding vocal style has yielded him seven
No. 1 and 29 Top 10 singles—and it continues to serve him magnificently
in “Old Army Hat.”
“That
‘greatest generation’ of soldiers is passing away quickly now,”
Anderson observes.  “We need to keep their memory alive—not for
nostalgia’s sake—but as a reminder of what America can achieve at its
best.  And, believe me, Ed Haley was one of the best.  His love of
country and sense of duty have never faltered.”
Anderson is a member of both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
“Old Army Hat” is from Anderson’s current Sony/RED album, Life!
