Just some really great songs about Southern United States. :) I know there are many more which I've missed; the ten I've chosen are the first that came to mind. Feel free to add the ones you know deserves to be here - or you could just vote for a favourite that is already added :)

The Top Ten

1 Louisiana Flood - Paul Butterfield's Better Days

2 Deep Down in Florida - Muddy Waters

3 Walking To New Orleans - Fats Domino

4 Memphis Tennessee - Chuck Berry

Rock n' Roll classic.

5 Georgia on My Mind - Ray Charles

6 Oh Atlanta - Alison Krauss

7 All My Ex's Live In Texas - George Strait

8 Carolina on My Mind - James Taylor

9 Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd

I wonder this song is just here. It's better than other ones up there.

10 Blue Moon of Kentucky - Bill Monroe

Watch it, now. Gettin' a bit close to acknowledging Scots-Irish folk music. Careful. Might even start (gasp! ) liking it;).

The Contenders

11 Southern Accents - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

12 The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - The Band

13 Southern Man - Neil Young

A song about the South by an arrogant Canadian hippie who doesn't know the first thing about squat. Lynyrd Skynyrd called it plain: "Southern man don't need him around, anyhow." Neither does any other real American.

14 Alabama - Neil Young
