Southern Nights, 1977
Written by Allen Toussaint, 1975
The album this song is on went to number one on the country charts. Yet again, what I hear is soft rock, or singer-songwriter like Randy Newman or Jim Croce. This song, at least, is country by name only. The song is inspired by Toussaint's visits to his childhood home in Lousiana, and Campbell adapted it to his hometown of Arkansas. "Have you ever felt a Southern night? / Free as a breeze / Not to mention the trees / Whistlin' tunes that you know and love so."
