California Uber Alles - that's MY kind of ballad!!!
Best best ballads that refer to a US State
Recently, there was a long discussion focused on the business merits of one US state. It got me thinking about getting back to music and the ballads that refer to so many great places in the US. So do you have a list (top 3-5) of favorite ballads that refer to a US state?
My list:
1) California Dreaming, Mamas & Papas
2) Take Me Home Country Road (Almost heaven, West Virginia), John Denver
3) Sweet Home Alabama, Lynyrd Skynyrd
4) Please come to Boston (man from Tennessee), Dave Loggins
5) Colder Weather (Colorado), Zak Brown Band

@notlistening - yeah, I remember that 'Della wear' song very well; I just never realized that the hit version of it was by Perry Como! |
@jim5559 - that must have been some poll to find out that 95% of the population that lived at that time would say 'Moonlight In Vermont' as a ballad with a state name in it. I'm 70 years old and I don't know anybody who would have named it, but then, I didn't take the poll. I find that fascinating - could you please provide a link to it? |
