State Songs, Revisited: New Anthems for All 50 States

Jun 19, 2014

Almost every state has an official song, but not every state has one that you’d want to blast through your car stereo. In this series, we ask musicians and notable music experts to pick a new official song for their home states, or at least the state where they launched the careers. It can be as literal, metaphorical, or nonsensical as they want—as long as it represents what the state means to them. Check back for new anthems every week.
