Country music has always been a melting pot, and no other state in the USA has thrown more flavours into that pot than Louisiana. French, African, American and French-Canadian cultures are reflected in the music that comes out of it, and the Pelican state has infused country with jazz, zydeco, blues rock, soul, R&B, bluegrass and cajun styles and come up with its own unique blend.

It’s no surprise that so many country songs are about the great Bayou state either. From Hank Williams to Lainey Wilson, Louisiana has given country artists a lot to sing about through the years and we’ve picked out 50 of the best of them.

So, whether you’re off to Mardi Gras or taking a dip in the mighty Mississip, you’ll find the perfect song to soundtrack your adventures in our Holler playlist of The Best Country Songs About Louisiana.
