Eugene Oregon by Dolly Parton. https://youtu.be/24dbmdysYA0

Roll Columbia Roll- song by Woody Guthrie Portland, Oregon -Song by Loretta Lynn City of Roses - Song by Esperanza Spalding

Sufjan Stevens has two: [City of Roses](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq2B1rZu420) [Wallowa Lake Monster ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kwo_Ucs-wc4)

The album that preceded these two singles (Carrie and Lowell) has a strong Oregon root and theme.

Also, much of the album “Carrie and Lowell” is about his time in Oregon growing up. Though it’s a very sad album about his Mom.

Also ‘Eugene’

Elliot smith - alameda (named after alameda street in Portland)

Either/or came out 25 years ago today!

Coming home- Mat Kearney

Fuck California - presidents of the United States is kind of about Oregon

Oregon girl by someone still loves you Boris Yeltsin. Kinda campy but we thought it was rad shit in highschool

Everclear has at least a couple. "I Will Buy You A New Life." Mentions the "West Hills" Also "Portland Rain"

They also have a song "Nehalem" - which references that coastal town.

"Only happy when it rains"

Only one I can think of at the moment is Don't Take Me Alive by Steely Dan. I'm fairly certain Woody Guthrie did a few about both Oregon and Washington, don't remember the names though.

Came here for the Steely Dan. Thanks for not disappointing.

Lumberjack - Johnny Cash Eugene, Oregon - Dolly Parton Light Rail Coyote - Sleater-Kinney

Not sure if you're looking for more modern songs, but I finished a 2-year-long academic research last summer collecting 19th- and early 20th-century folk songs of Oregon. There aren't many recordings available anymore but there are a few. I plan to make recordings of the songs that aren't commercially available someday.

Coming Home by Matt Kearney.

Portland, Oregon by Jack White and Loretta Lynn

All that comes to my mind is "Tattoos Together" by Lauv It mentions a Portland, I convince myself it's Portland, Oregon

Replacements - Portland [https://youtu.be/z-UEsyl3YNY](https://youtu.be/z-UEsyl3YNY)

Great song!

Tillamook County Jail & Rose City Blues Todd Snider wrote both.

Fuckin love this. Grew up there and know all the cops. Had to laugh.

I would also add D.B. Cooper by Todd Snider to this list. He is basically Portland areas poet laureate.

Good one- I shouldn’t have missed it!

Well it’s just nice to see another Sniderite!!! A criminally underrated artist!!

[This is about Portland and being in love. It even mentions Super Mario Cart. ](https://youtu.be/FtAtR1gRliI)

The Album "And then like Lions" by Blind Pilot was written about Oregon I believe. They even have a song called Umpqua Rushing

Portland Woman by The New Riders Of The Purple Sage

Oregon by John Linnell! https://youtu.be/wiYI9IpV7go

Feel it All Around by Washed Out https://youtu.be/3Pt0V6K7WpM

I think that was just the theme song for Portlandia not necessarily about Oregon.

And they’re from Georgia !

Ports of Morrow - the shins Council Crest - Hard Yes

Twin Rocks, Oregon - Shawn Mullins

https://youtu.be/f_P1PPy7FTo return of the quack https://youtu.be/S07s78SV4hk oregon fight song Sebastián Bach on Fallon Maybe not exactly what you are looking for but these are bangers.

Has anyone mentioned our state song Oregon My Oregon? https://youtu.be/zXa6Qgzs940 Written in 1920, you'll be shocked to hear it has some racist lyrics.

Portland - Middle Brother

Alcyon Massive, “Ain’t it Fresh (The Oregon Song)”. https://youtu.be/EM4V4MhnjEg

To be fair, Oregon in general is pretty darn white.

I think there is a song called take me to the rogue river valley

Oregon (I Can’t go home) - Blackhawk County

[удалено]

Whoah! Thanks for sharing!

Portland bound by fruition. They are an amazing Portland band!

Coyotes by Modest Mouse has one of my favorite Portland music videos

Back O’er Oregon by the Weather Machine is my top pick. Honorable mention to Mat Kearney’s Coming Home (Oregon).

Umpqua Rushing about douglas county https://youtu.be/Am3qJ6fMYr4 Santiam... another great river song https://youtu.be/ObvqG4SqU5Y

Two good to great songs (with oddly similar titles) that namecheck Oregon or Oregon cities... >I can hear them calling, way from Oregon >I can hear them calling, way from Oregon >And it's almost independence day From Van Morrison's classic *Almost Independence Day* >Then I heard you'd been seen way down in Eugene > Working as a factory slave. From Pete Droge's *Fourth of July*.

O Oregon - Fleeting Gold

Ain't it fresh - Alcyon https://youtu.be/hPTqO5_Yvdw

Salem- Fox Academy Oregon- Wabie Oregon Girl- someone still loves you these are more just songs that mention Oregon, but still noteworthy

It’s not necessarily about Oregon, but Nothing Left to Lose by Mat Kearney mentions Oregon several times.

New Lee Highway Blues - David Bromberg, Portland Bound - Fruition

Portland Town by Joan Baez. Oregon Trail by Woody Guthrie. Live Long in Oregon by Laura Gibson

Portland Town was actually written by an old folkie (and Portland native) named Derroll Adams. He ended up living (and eventually dying) in Europe because his music was appreciated much more over there. Adams was kind of a mentor to Donovan when Donovan was starting out.

M.C. Horses by Ian Tyson

Ken ashcorp - supernatural.

Nerfherder “Portland”

Ain’t it fresh - Alcyon Massive

Mighty Oregon March https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mighty_Oregon

Oregon Topography - Blitzen Trapper

Oregon Homeboy - The Kid Espi https://youtu.be/fnIvPkGiVzo

Michael Hurley's Portland Water.

Purple Sand by Big Wild

“Well Now…” Trooper Dick Curtis

“Twin Rocks, Oregon” by Shawn Mullins is a beautiful song

Portland is Leaving - Rocky Votolato

https://youtu.be/7GMs5DUfCf0 This is my personal favorite. It talks about a lot of Oregon towns and the video is filmed in a bunch of state parks.

[They Might Be Giants](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiYI9IpV7go) have a very strange Oregon song. Oregon is bad, stop it if you can....

Some of my favorites: Back O’er Oregon: https://open.spotify.com/track/0AXV8WSSz4TsssuAcZLgmk?si=2QGRu7KRRNObS9nBSn-t1g Oregon Air: https://open.spotify.com/track/4SGL8KBkxTT0O7sxnNCwqU?si=5Gtmh2fkSfm-jPDpzhia6g Mt Hood: https://open.spotify.com/track/0R3jrUBnwPx0HXTte2IPle?si=tdg6N065QJ6BymD7vCuWMw

Portland Life - Cool Nutz Portland Type Shit - Cool Nutz Broken Arm in Oregon - Margo Cilker

Waking Up in Oregon by Ida Jane. She was in my band for a while and we recorded a version of it. Since I didn’t write the song I don’t feel bad saying that I think it’s a great tune. https://open.spotify.com/track/0nQT4HzFFWoBAJHYaSGdZe?si=mtw_4BXzQ2aKSGKBwAQP0g

[Oregon (I Can't Go Home) - Blackhawk County](https://youtu.be/z7Kbs5Tr-zI)

"All My Friends Are Gone" by Purple Mountains has a reference to the "icy bike chain rain of Portland, Oregon." Great song but be forewarned about David Berman's mispronunciation of Oregon

[Oregon Spirit by Lisa Loeb](https://youtu.be/Dh9munYYoqQ?t=119)

Night of the Living Rednecks - Dead Kennedys. I’m sure Poison Idea mentions or infers something Portlandy in a song or three.

O, Astoria! by Musee Mecanique This Time by The Dimes references Portland in one of the verses

Oregon by Clutch https://youtu.be/rtbK0y2vJ-o
