Paul Crabtree, original writer of I Hear America Singing, says that the show was “full of salutin’, recruitin’, and disputin’ songs. It’s music that reflects what happened to us socially and culturally through the impact of war, the miseries of depression, the jubilation of happier times, and the feelings and reactions of people to events across the years.” The show had several cast recordings and was even staged during halftime at the 1981 Orange Bowl in Miami.

The American West area of Opryland was built to be reminiscent of El Paso, Texas, in the 1880s, complete with a cantina, a blacksmith, and a general store. However, instead of desperadoes gunning each other down in the street, there were “sing-outs,” as strolling bands and the Opryland characters roamed around the area entertaining visitors with impromptu shows.
