"Tennessee Born and Bred" is a song recorded by American country music artist Eddie Rabbitt and released in 1991 as the fifth and final single from his twelfth studio album Jersey Boy.
The shoot required approximately 150 extras, with people openly invited via an advert in The Tennessean to turn up at the barn dressed in "orange and blue fall clothing".
[5] In a review of the single, Billboard described "Tennessee Born and Bred" as an "acoustic, bluegrass-sprinkled feast of sound" and "one of the most infectious songs Rabbitt has ever recorded".
They added, "...and if Rabbitt's firey-edge performance doesn't set you to a sizzle, the rootsy electricity which pours from excellent bluegrass-flavored instrumentation will!
[8] In a retrospective review of Jersey Boy, Charlotte Dillon of AllMusic picked "Tennessee Born and Bred" as a song that "Eddie Rabbitt fans might especially enjoy".
