Music Of Arkansas
Arkansas is a Southern state of the United States. Arkansas's musical heritage includes country music and various related styles like bluegrass and rockabilly. State songs Arkansas has four official state songs: *State Anthem: "Arkansas" by Mrs. Eva Ware Barnett *State Historical Song: "The Arkansas Traveler" by Colonel Sanford C. Faulkner *State Song: " Oh, Arkansas" by Terry Rose and Gary Klaff *State Song: " Arkansas (You Run Deep In Me)" by Wayland Holyfield The reason for two of the official state songs is a copyright dispute. "Arkansas" was published in 1916 by the Central Music Company, written by Eva Ware Barnett and Will M. Ramsey (though state law only credits Mrs. Barnett). It became the official song on January 12, 1917. Until either 1945 or 1949, "Arkansas" was the only official song in Arkansas. At that time, there was a copyright dispute and the state adopted "The Arkansas Traveler" as the official song, a situation that remained unchanged until 1963. In that ye ...
