At the height of the Cold War, there were hundreds of thousands of American troops stationed overseas, many of them in Germany. The USO arranged tours to boost their morale, and in 1957 contracted with RCA for almost the entire Nashville roster to go on a tour of Germany. The troupe recorded here included the Browns, Hank Locklin, Janis Martin, Jim Reeves & Del Wood. The AFN taped one of the performances, and the result is this fascinating document.
