Vietnam War blues songs: [ Ссылка ]
Williams (1914-1980), born in Zachary, Louisiana, recorded the song "Vietnam Blues" (Ahura Mazda Records # 45-AMS-101) in 1970 in Maringouin, Louisiana. Sung in free style, it is difficult to understand the lyrics, but it is another blues protest song. It mentioned a lack of information about US activities in Vietnam, which could be used as an example of the "credibility gap" between what the government said and the actual progress of the conflict. The song also featured on the 1971 album Robert Pete Williams (Ahura # AMS 2002).

"Well where are we now? Vietnam...
We don't know what going on there...
Taking our Vietnam boys, I don't like
This war that they call Vietnam"
