Topic: American Music Playlist

Hey. Well, over on my Facebook page, I started a theme called November In America, and since Thanksgiving is this month, I'm posting artists from different states in the country. Trying to limit to one artist pe state for the entire month. So far, I have 10 artists from 10 states. Think I'm doing pretty well so far. Trying not to include too many of the obvious hit songs in this list:

Bruce Springsteen - Hungry Heart (New Jersey)

Darius Rucker - Southern Comfort (South Carolina)

James Taylor - Copperline (North Carolina)

Ted Nugent - Live It Up (Michigan)

Muddy Waters - Mannish Boy (Mississippi)

Tom Petty - Saving Grace (Florida)

Billy Joel - Summer Highland Falls (New York)

Merle Haggard - I Take A Lot of Pride in What I am (Oklahoma)

Heart - Dream Of The Archer (Washington)

Buddy Guy - Who's Gonna Fill Those Shoes? (Louisiana)

How about helping us not in the US by naming the State too?

Re: American Music Playlist

Well, after some thought, I decided to revise the playlist in this theme a bit. I'm gonna go in Alphabetical order of all 50 states, and pick a different musican from each state, and a song from them as well. Here's the first 5 in the revised list:

Alabama:
Drive By Truckers - Ronnie & Neil

Alaska:
Jewel - Hands

Arizona:
Linda Ronstadt - Blue Bayou

Arkansas:
Al Green - Take Me To The River

California:
Metallica - Master Of Puppets
