"Duty Country Honor" by The C.R. Ecker Band, Takes Summer Center Stage
Patriotic country-rocker for freedom lovers and its defenders
This up-tempo anthem, from Charles Ecker and Michael Stanton of Los Angeles, is one of only a few Patriotic songs to come out of the Country Music genre since 9-11, and its message in support of all nation's willing to uphold freedom here and abroad is clear, with the key line, "Kick Up the Good, Knock Down the Bad," anchoring the song.
Based on Ecker's four year service in the U.S. Air Force and ten-year volunteer commitment to Team Coast Guard as a Flotilla Commander assigned to shore patrols off LAX, the song celebrates not just America, which is never mentioned in the song, but all Allied forces.
"Duty Country Honor" was co-written by Michael Stanton, who also sang lead. The latter, formerly head of The Ladies' Night Band, donated 78,000 copies of his rock album, "Ladies' Night" to troops here and abroad through the Soldiers Angels charity organization.
The C.R. Ecker Band was formed in 2011 and since then, has won 21 achievement awards, including "Best Song" at The Los Angeles Music Awards, Hollywood Music in Media Awards and Starliner's Europe.
In November, 2016, Ecker received LAMA's "Career Country Songwriter" Award which spanned the 25-year history of the organization and was inducted into The Recording Academy two short weeks later.
