That was the first song I thought of.

Also like these a lot but they are more specific to our area of the south.

The Doobie Brothers - Black Water

CCR - Born on the Bayou

Al Jolson - "Mammy"

From the first big talkie hit, The Jazz Singer (1927).



The romanticizing of the South goes back at least to Steven Foster, and was in full swing by the Vaudeville era of 1900-30.

The Happenings cover from 1967 -- made the pop top 15!

Don Williams- Good Ole Boys Like Me

The older I become, the more special this song becomes to me. There are fewer and fewer of these good ole boys left every day. Thank God I knew my share of them.

I can still hear the soft southern wind in the live oak trees

And those Williams boys still mean a lot to me, Hank and Tennessee

I guess we're all gonna be what we're gonna be

So what do you do with good ole boys like me?

"Seminole Wind" by John Anderson has to be right up there.

I've always wished Skynyrd or someone would do a true Southern Rock treatment of it.

Good one, Kafka.
