It's amazing how many good songs reference places in America. I was able to hop from one to another for hours last night: - let's set up a group compilation - especially as all of mine are well old, for which I apologise!
Last night I particularly enjoyed:
California Dreamin' - Mamas and the Papas
Ode to Billie Joe - Bobbie Gentry
Do You Know the Way to San Jose - Dionne Warwick
Statue of Liberty - XTC
Only Living Boy In New York - Simon and Garfunkel
Movin' Out - Billy Joel
Midnight Train to Georgia - Gladys Knight
Fallen For You - Sheila Nicholls
Please Come to Boston - Joan Baez
Wichita Lineman - Glenn Campbell
High Sierra - Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris
America - from West Side Story
Anchorage - Michelle Shocked
First We Take Manahattan - Jennifer Warnes
An American Tune - Paul Simon
More please....
