ByAsa Hawks

I kissed a… Martian?

For Nashville: Top 5 Country Songs About Floods

ByAsa Hawks

The death toll from the recent flooding in Tennessee, Kentucky and Mississippi has risen to 31, according to reports from CNN.com. Hardest hit by the torrential rains was Tennessee and its capital city, the home of country music, Nashville. 21 people have died in the Volunteer State and 10 of its counties have been declared disaster areas by President Obama. Damages in Nashville alone are expected to exceed $1 billion.

In honor of our Southern brothers and sisters suffering through this natural disaster I’ve put together what I think are some of the best songs ever written about the damages caused by too much rain, sung in the voices of some of country music’s greatest performers. Audio clips and my rambling analysis are included.
