In this unique book/3-CD album, a collective of musicians and artists have come together to document the legacies of each U.S. president with original artwork and alt-country/folk songs. Each commander-in-chief has his own few pages with artistic portraits and original lyrics from the accompanying CDs which feature many musicians, such as Bill Callahan (Smog), Mark Kozelek (Sun Kill Moon, Red House Painters), and Alan Sparhawk (Low), among others.In this unique book/3-CD album, a collective of musicians and artists have come together to document the legacies of each U.S. president with original artwork and alt-country/folk songs.
