I love this one by Charlie Daniels.

This is about Johnson County Tennessee, but that's just over the mountains from NC so here you are -

Nice! Haven`t heard that one in a long time. What a lot of great songs Steve went on to write.

I believe this has become the new tourism theme. I like it as much as the one I grew up hearing. It sticks to the ribs like "meat and taters."

Many areas of North Carolina have a history of their own. There are songs written about the specific thing that keeps those areas remembered. I like the Black Mountain area (16.5 miles east of Asheville NC) and this song takes me back there when I can't visit in person.

I had to add this to the roster of songs (filling in the gaps of variety).

Please do not think I am promoting one school over another, as all the NC institutions are exemplary.

Two more, both written and performed by my friend Mike Cross who lives near Chapel Hill, NC. You may also know his name in connection with his more famous song "The Scotsman." (Yes, he wrote it and no, it is not "trad" or "anon." in spite of what the Internet thinks.)
