Songs America Voted By

Historical musician and balladeer Linda Russell takes you on a romp through elections past as you hear the ditties that inspired Americans to vote.  She sings gems like Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too; Grover’s Veto and You’re Alright, Teddy. When the Whig Party nominated New Jersey’s Theodore Frelinghuysen for vice president in 1844, one songster found a rhyme to Frelinghuysen!
