In honor of Veteran's Day, November 11, Elana James, vocalist and fiddler for the Hot Club of Cowtown, is releasing "Hey, Beautiful." The lyrics are, simply, a letter written by U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Juan Campos (1979-2007)--one of the last he wrote to his wife from Iraq. Elana read Campos's words in The New York Times article "Six of the Fallen, in Words They Sent Home," which appeared in March 2008 as part of excerpts from the e-mail messages, journals and web postings of six soldiers who died in Iraq since January 1, 2007. Elana was moved by this letter in particular, and was inspired to put his words to music. "Hey, Beautiful" is the letter just as Campos wrote it (though it has been edited slightly for length).
