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
