WHITE MANSIONS is a 1978 concept album written by English singer-songwriter Paul Kennerley which imagines the lives of American Southerners in the Confederacy during the Civil War. The songs were performed by country singers, each portraying different characters in an attempt to show the Confederacy and the concept of "Southern pride" through their eyes. The album's vocalists included Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter, John Dillon and Steve Cash. Eric Clapton played guitar on several tracks. In his autobiography, Waylon Jennings claims Kennerley was inspired to compose the songs after hearing "Let’s All Help The Cowboys (Sing the Blues)" on London radio, which had appeared on Jennings 1975 LP Dreaming My Dreams, and declared, WHITE MANSIONS is a lovely record, and it touched me in a deeply personal way, as a man whose house is built on a Civil War battlefield and a Southerner. Though it probably went over the heads of its intended audience, making the album was one of my most enjoyable experiences. This reissue document one of the more curious careers in country music. 1978's WHITE MANSIONS is a Southern song cycles that were conceived by England's own Paul Kennerley, then an unknown songwriter who somehow recruited a high-profile cast for each. A Civil War saga from the Southern perspective, WHITE MANSIONS suffers from caricature and cliché but benefits from signature contributions by Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter and Eric Clapton. WHITE MANSIONS is an album when it was released, mainly because Eric Clapton was on it (he still is). Eric Clapton's slide guitar on "White Trash" is superb and some other reviewers have already covered the background and other performances very well. Although now bought the CD for convenience, the LP came with a book which adds considerably to the music. It's an emotional journey and the casting is superb. Never held the view that the album condoned slavery - it was clearly telling a story and not a happy one. The photos in the book of the aftermath of battle are truly shocking, as was the treatment of the slaves who are also represented in both sound and vision (although almost as a post-script - the cause of some of the criticism). The album was re-released in 1999 in a two-for-one package with The Legend Of Jesse James, a 1980 concept album conceived by Kennerley. If you are interested in American Civil War history and like country rock, this is essential for your collection!
