BLUEHIGHWAYS TV MARKS VETERANS DAY WITH

Royal Wade Kimes Music Video Commemorates Civil War Sesquicentennial with Story of Confederate Soldier

Hendersonville, TN – BlueHighways TV (BHTV), an independent multi-platform network that explores the people, stories, traditions and music of America, announced today that it will premiere “Dixie Burns,” an extended music video from singer Royal Wade Kimes, as part of its Heartland Treasures series.  The thirty minute special episode, which tells the story of a Confederate soldier returning home after the Civil War through song, premieres on November 11 at 4p.m. EST. 

Filmed in Tennessee and Kentucky, producer and singer Royal Wade Kimes used music from his CD to tell the story of “Dixie Burns.”  The program begins with the closing of the Civil War and illustrates the struggle of the end and the trials of trying to get back home after it is over. Each song tells a separate story about the soldier’s travels, his memories of home, and his thoughts of the friends he lost during the war.  Kimes’ music and video were inspired by and created to commemorate the 150^th anniversary of the Civil War (2011-2015).

“Dixie Burns is a wonderful storytelling experience through song of a soldier returning home from war,” said Stan Hitchcock, President and CEO of BHTV.  “BlueHighways TV is honored to recognize Veterans Day with this moving thirty minute extended music video from Royal Wade Kimes.”

Royal Wade Kimes has had numerous hit songs recorded by Garth Brooks, Diamond Rio, Gene Watson and others.  He has won the Will Rogers Award for best album and best video, and was named Best Solo Musician by True West Magazine in 2010.  His style of music has been tabbed as authentic cowboy country.
