"The Battle Hymn of Love" is a song written by Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz, and recorded by American country music artists Kathy Mattea and Tim O'Brien. The song was recorded for Mattea's 1987 studio album Untasted Honey. It was released in July 1990 as the first single from her compilation album A Collection of Hits.
AllMusic's William Ruhlmann writes, "Kathy Mattea has risen to near the top of the Nashville ranks because of a haunting, soulful voice, well-produced recordings that have a simple, folkie directness, and, most especially, an amazing talent for picking the best songs being written for the country market" [1]
Tim O'Brien sang duet vocals on Mattea's 1990 single "The Battle Hymn of Love". Her 1992 album, Lonesome Standard Time, produced a number 11 country hit in its title track, plus the Top 20 "Standing Knee Deep in a River (Dying of Thirst)". Yet its followups ("Seeds" and "Listen to the Radio") failed to enter the country top 40. [2]
"The Battle Hymn of Love" was later released as a single from Mattea's 1990 album A Collection of Hits. Like Walk the Way the Wind Blows before it, this album includes a cut originally found on Nanci Griffith's 1986 album The Last of the True Believers, this time in the track "Goin' Gone". Untasted Honey was certified gold by the RIAA.
Mattea's first compilation was issued in 1990 titled A Collection of Hits, which later certified platinum in the United States. Both of its new recordings were released as singles and reached the country chart top ten: "The Battle Hymn of Love" and "A Few Good Things Remain". In 1991, Time Passes By was released.
In 1990, O'Brien also charted along with Kathy Mattea on the duet "The Battle Hymn of Love", which peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts. [6] In 2010, O'Brien featured prominently on Kris Drever's second solo album, Mark the Hard Earth. He also produced at least one instructional video/DVD of mandolin and bouzouki ...
