There’s a lot of pride in one’s roots across the genre.
And with many of our favorites hailing from the state of Georgia, it’s no surprise they’ve chosen to release songs about the Peach State.

Which Country Singers Are From Georgia?
There are quite a few country singers from the state of Georgia.
Alan Jackson, Trisha Yearwood and Jason Aldean are just a few who were not only born in Georgia, but they have also released tracks about their beloved home.
That doesn’t mean others haven’t crafted their own odes to the state. Plenty of others have recorded songs about Georgia — or, at the very least, a woman named Georgia. We’re looking at you, Willie Nelson.
Then you have an artist like Kane Brown. He was actually born in Chattanooga, Tenn., but he spent much of his childhood in northwest Georgia and is very loyal to the University of Georgia Bulldogs.
But don’t take our word for it. Just listen to the lyrics of his song, “Bury Me in Georgia.” Now that’s some serious commitment!
