Songs With "South" In The Title

Yesterday it was "North" songs. Today it's "South" songs. It would have been so easy to make this one entirely a collection of country songs, as there are so, so many songs written about the South (i.e., the Southern United States). But I didn't want to take the easy way out. Nearly half of these ARE country songs, but the rest are decidedly not. Enjoy!  ~  JH

3)  Albert Hammond  ~  "It Never Rains In Southern California"

4)  Glen Campbell  ~  "Southern Nights"

5)  The Doobie Brothers  ~  "South City Midnight Lady"

6)  Kansas  ~  "People Of The South Wind"

7)  Moonlight Social  ~  "Heading South"

8)  Iron and Wine  ~  "Sodom, South Georgia"

9)  Crosby, Stills, & Nash  ~  "Southern Cross"

10)  Gene Autry  ~  "South Of The Border"

11)  Tennis  ~  "South Carolina"
