From America's first campaign songs for William Henry Harrison in 1840 to Bill Clinton in 1992, Glazer shares with listeners a rich overview of political songs in this country. Each track begins with a brief history of the song by Glazer and the collection features several of his classic hits, including "Ida Mae (Social Security Song)" and "Ballad of Richard Nixon."
