About the artist
Unknown - no release ties "Welcome Home Soldier" to the documented Charlotte, North Carolina country act The Moody Brothers (Carlton, Dave and Trent Moody; Grammy-nominated 1985 for "Cotton-Eyed Joe"), so that namesake is NOT assigned; an unrelated Lynne Payne record of the same title (Lamon, 1991) also surfaced. The performing act remains unidentified. [Source: Discogs checks; Wikipedia (rule-out)]
