Songs of Alabama

Last update: January 31, 1999


    The official state song is "Alabama".

    There is no particular order to the songs listed below. I welcome any and all suggestions and especially corrections, as well as additional information on any song listed below.

    Songs of love for Alabama

  • "My Home's in Alabama", by Alabama

  • "Alabama's the Place to Be" on School's Out by Little Jimmy Reed

  • "Alabama Song" on Alabama Song by Allison Moorer

  • "Stars Fell on Alabama" is more about falling in love than about Alabama, but it is a nice song. Jimmy Buffet (from Mobile) had a jazzy version, and I still have an affection for the version by Ricky Nelson in the 60s.

  • "Alabama State Of Mind" on Moonlighter by Claire Lynch

  • "Alabama Sky" on The Closer You Get and Country Side Of Life by Alabama

  • "Alabama Saturday Night" on Montana Slim: A Prairie Legend by Wilf Carter

  • "Alabama Clay" (L. Cordle, R. Scaife) with versions on:
    • A Change Of Scenery (Sugar Hill SH-CD 3763) by The Seldom Scene
    • Garth Brooks by Garth Brooks

  • "Alabama Jubilee" -- here are some of the versions:
    • on Champagne Charlie by Leon Redbone
    • on Country Guitar Thunder (1977-81) by Merle Travis and Joe Maphis
    • on Texas Fiddle Collection by Johnny Gimble
    • on Mandolin Magic by Evan Marshall
    • on Livin' In The Past by Kentucky Colonels

  • "Alabama Bound" -- here are some of the versions:
    • on Midnight Special by Leadbelly
    • on Ballads from Deep Gap by Doc & Merle Watson
    • on The Vanguard Years by Doc Watson
    • on Blues, Songs And Ballads by Tom Rush

    Uncertain terrain

    Sorry, I just don't know if these are appropriate. Suggestions are welcome.

  • "Alabama" on Tragic Songs of Life by the Louvin Brothers

  • "Alabama Rain" by Jim Croce on I Got A Name, Time In A Bottle and Down The Highway

  • "Alabama Song" on The Doors by the Doors (see sound sample in real audio)

  • "Alabama 'Shine" on The Woodys by the Woodys -- is this moonshine or praise for home?

  • "Alabama Getaway" Go To Heaven by Grateful Dead

    The dark side

  • "Sweet Home Alabama", whether the original by Lynyrd Skynyrd (on NFC or that by the Leningrad Cowboys, cannot be presented without presenting the other side:

  • "Alabama" by Neil Young on Harvest

    Thus for the purposes of this site I prefer to omit both.
