A Fall In Tennessee
Hazell Dean · Other Songs - Hazell Dean
Lord there's nothing like a fall in Tennessee
It was a Smokey Mountain morning, October 25
You know she left here without warning
So I took a long, long drive
Tried to change the state my heart was in
Out of all the places I have been.
Tennessee, Tennessee
There's nothing' like a fall in Tennessee
For a gold old fashioned heartbreak
There's no place I'd rather be
'Cause there's nothin' like a fall in Tennessee.
She must of had her reasons
Was it the chill in the air
I guess lovers have their seasons
Where their souls are layin' bare
It's better now her true colors show
This time of year there's only one place to go.
Tennessee, Tennessee
There's nothing' like a fall in Tennessee
For a gold old fashioned heartbreak
There's no place I'd rather be
'Cause there's nothin' like a fall in Tennessee.
For a good old fashioned heartbreak
Theres no place I'd rather be
'Cause there's nothing like a fall in Tennessee...
A Fall In Tennessee
Hazell Dean's 'A Fall In Tennessee' stands as a quintessential example of her early 1970s soul and R&B recordings. Released during a period when she was establishing her signature sound, the track blends smooth vocal delivery with a polished, mid-tempo arrangement typical of the era's Motown-influenced pop. The song reflects Dean's ability to craft romantic ballads that balanced commercial appeal with genuine emotional resonance, a hallmark of her discography from the early days of her career. As part of her broader body of work from that time, the recording captures the lush production styles and vocal techniques that would define her status as a leading figure in British soul music. It remains a representative piece of her catalog, showcasing the seamless integration of gospel roots and contemporary pop sensibilities that characterized her most successful singles.
