Mississippi was admitted to the Union as the 20th state on this date in 1817. So today we're looking for songs that mention Mississippi - the state or the river. Share your favorites and we'll spin a set.

Here's what we played:

Jesse Winchester "Mississippi You're on My Mind"

Mavis Staples "Down in Mississippi"

Nina Simone "Mississippi Goddam"

Mountain "Mississippi Queen"
