=======================
(See Pictures for VG+ Condition)
White Mansions is a 1978 concept album by various artists, imagining the lives of American Southerners in the Confederacy during the Civil War. The songs were written by Paul Kennerley and performed by Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter, John Dillon and Steve Cash. Each singer took on a distinct persona, portraying different characters in an attempt to show the Confederacy and the concept of "Southern pride" through their eyes. Eric Clapton played guitar on several tracks. The album charted at #38 on the Country Billboard chart and #181 on the Billboard 200.
In his autobiography, Waylon Jennings claims Kennerley was inspired to compose the songs after hearing "That's Why the Cowboys Sings 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."
