Songs of Iowa

Last update: January 18, 1999


    The official state song is "The song of Iowa"; read its story.

    This state song along with all the other official state songs is also available on Coolidge 50.

    I welcome any and all suggestions and especially corrections, as well as additional information on any song listed below.

    Songs of love for Iowa

  • "Tall Grass and Short Women" is included for Iowa along with songs for all the other states on Coolidge 50.

  • "Iowa Waltz" by Greg Brown of Iowa City. Unfortunately, I do not know whether this is instrumental only.

  • "When it's Apple Blossom Time in Iowa" by Tom Wills, nephew of the Bob Wills (Prairie Music Records, Atlantic, Iowa; 712-243- 4554). Although this is more of a human love song set in Iowa than a love song for Iowa, I listed it anyway.

  • "Iowa Lands" on Rockabye (WEA/Elektra Entertainment 61289, release date: 09/01/92) by Robin Holcolm

    Honorable mention

  • "Iowa Stubborn" from The Music Man (Emd/Angel 64663, release date: 11/17/92) by original broadway cast

  • "Iowa Girl", on Reunion Rag (Flying Fish FF 70576) by Dakota Dave Hull (of Missouri)

    Uncertain terrain
