One Flew South Releases Previously Unreleased Christmas Song, "Pipes of Peace"

11 years after the debut of their first and only album, the trio of One Flew South (Chris Roberts, Royal Reed and Eddie Bush) released a previously-unheard Christmas song that was recorded during their time on the Decca Record label called "Pipes of Peace." The song was written by Roberts and Marcus Hummon (writer on such hits as "Cowboy Take Me Away" by the Dixie Chicks, "Born to Fly" by Sara Evans, and the Rascal Flatts version of "Bless the Broken Road".) 

Said, Bush on the song, "This One Flew South Christmas song recorded during the Decca records period, as Last Of The Good Guys was being prepped for release, and it's first single "My Kind Of Beautiful" was about to go out to radio. It's based on the historic moment in the first world war, where British and German soldiers laid down their weapons in honor of the Christmas holiday that was upon them. We sang "Silent Night" in German, and if memory serves, that's Marcus Hummon singing the English lines over the "Stille Nacht" refrain."
