Transcription

Background and writing

The song first gained attention when CMT refused to allow Daniels to perform it on October 21 during the Country Freedom Concert that was staged in Nashville. The event was to raise funds for the Salvation Army's disaster relief efforts in New York City. Daniels refused to go on the show in protest saying that "if my song would be offensive, then my presence would be offensive."[1] Daniels told Phyllis Stark of Billboard Magazine that the events of September 11 "hit me really hard. It really floored me. I couldn't get away from it. I wept a lot."[1] Daniels said that people kept sending him emails asking if he was going to write a song about the attacks.

Critical reception

Deborah Evans Price of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably calling it "far more rousing than racist, this well-performed rocker is all about nationalism and our intention to kick some terrorist butt." She also states that there is "no doubt the more dovish among us will take offense, but when juxtaposed against rescue efforts that have evolved into recovery, who cares?[2]

Chart performance

"This Ain't No Rag, It's a Flag" debuted at number 51 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the week of November 10, 2001.
