about 12 years agoCharlie Parr, "Jefferson Street Express" Bob Dylan, "Something There Is About You" ('walkin' the hills of old duluth'), perhaps a stretch Ryan van Slooten, "Lakeside" Father Hennepin, "I Like It in Duluth," ('let's head down to the norshor') ATF / Jamie Ness, "The Duluth Song" Portrait of a Drowned Man, "The Marina is Too Shallow" Black-Eyed Snakes, "Hillside Stomp" Charlie Parr, "Adrift in Lake Superior at Sunrise" Haley Bonar, "The Water" (okay, so this one doesn't exactly reference duluth, but it just feels so much like looking outside a downtown window in winter at icy water on the lake) Fred Tyson, "Under the Boardwalk" (sort of) Crew Jones, "Memory of Me" (Highway 35 from Duluth to the cities, ice-fishing near something that I can't pronounce), "Chapter 13" (Leif Erikson Park?), "Swimming Hole" (Lester River?), "Who's Beach" (actual place up the shore, references many places up there, including Beaver Bay, a Finnish restaurant with a crying waitress, also possibly Leif Erikson Park though maybe a different ship, Windigo Lodge, the River Brule, also "the cobblestones and the seagulls" - obviously duluth), Charlie Parr, "Mahtowa Stomp" (Mahtowa) Boomchucks, "Hillsiders" Gil Junko, "My Soul's in the Mail" ('Highway 35, it's cold at night') Jim Hall, i think there's a song about Canal Park, don't remember which Jamie Ness has a song about $20 in your pocket and a million dollar view Pert Near Sandstone (uh, Sandstone, no?) but as mentioned, all hail vinnie & the stardusters, "duluth"blind
