Alabama







From the Internet




I want to go to Alabama, listen to the music playing

Walk around the towns, hear what the ghosts are saying

Find the belly of the blues, and the campus of country

Where rock and roll was welcomed and just keeps on jumping



Along with Tennessee and Mississippi it’s a melting pot of sound

I’m sure the specters of Williams Sr. and Buffett are still around

I want to smell the wind and feel the vibrations in the air

If you’re looking for a sound -- you’re sure to find it there




Author's Note:
Thinking about the Southern States and the history of music after reading Robbie Robertson's book and listening to Jason Isbell's and Anderson East's music.
