Location: Alagoas, Brazil | My niece is going to sing on Saturday to a group of Alabama visitors (from Rotary Club) in her Grandfather´s farm in Itu, São Paulo State.
She emailed me if I could point her to some Alabama song or rithym that could be sung then. I am guessing that Alabama falls into the "blues/country" kind of music, but maybe you could point me to something a bit more typical.
Thanks,
Miguel |

Losov, I couldn´t find this song and I don´t know it. I´ve found "Down Home", would be this you´re refering to?
Anyway, thanks guys.

| No. Here's the URL to the lyrics of the one I mean.

Should be a performance by someone or other, if not by Alabama themselves, on YouTube. |

Location: north coast ohio | Being my first post on here I really hate to rain on your parade, but the fact is: after 10 years of living in Alabama I haven't been to one house that doesn't have a bass on the wall singing 'take me to the river'. any other song would make her eligible to be on idol if she were here!

Location: Alagoas, Brazil | Ok, folks, thanks a lot for the songs. I sent them these links, and they decided to do "Oh Susanah" as Iffy sugested.
The Rotarians enjoyed a lot, and now I´ve asked the girls to send a video or at least some pictures so I can post here. I am waiting for the answer.
