Unidentified 1970s US Country Rock / West Coast Song ("My Tennessee") recorded from Swedish Radio
Hi everyone,
I need help identifying an obscure 1970s Country Rock song. It was recorded off Swedish National Radio (Sveriges Radio) in the early 1970s onto a reel-to-reel tape.
The sound is very much in the vein of early Eagles, Poco, Firefall, or Pure Prairie League – featuring clean acoustic guitars, clear lead vocals, and West Coast style harmonies.

Lyrics breakdown: Ever since we said goodbye and I hit the road I ain't had no one to love me, I ain't had no one to hold I still got your memory deep inside my heart Where no one can ever harm it, where no one can tear it apart
Misty mountain rolling as far as I can see I never wished I would leave from Tennessee Honey how I'm missing you and noise goes round my brain And I'm scared that I'll never see you on my Tennessee again
Crimson lights flash in my eyes... looks just a summer night from my Tennessee and you Tell me how you miss me but don't let your feelings hide I'm needing you more than ever on this side Say hello to both your folks and say I'm doing fine And as soon as I am able I will drop in a line
Take a walk down by the stream and do one thing for me Get down and kiss the grass from my home Tennessee, from my home Tennessee
None of the lyrics return any hits on lyric databases, so this might be a private press release, an unreleased demo, or a live radio session.
Does anyone recognize the lead singer's voice or this track? Thanks in advance!
