It was also released as a single in September 1979 as the follow-up to the "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." It reached the top 20 on the country singles charts in both the U.S. and Canada. Lyrics and musicThe lyrics of "Mississippi" have the singer thinking about his earlier times in the state of Mississippi.[1] The Clarion-Ledger described the mood of the song as quiet and contemplative.[1] Bill Hance of Gannett News Service described it as a "bluesy ballad" that would appeal to older, more middle-of-the-road listeners than some of Daniels' earlier material.[2] According to Daniels, the melody he used happened to fit the 4 syllable name "Mississippi" and could have been applied to a different place name with 4 syllables, stating "I coulda made it Cincinnati except they ain't no Spanish moss hangin' from no live oak trees in Cincinnati."[3] Reception"Mississippi" did not repeat the mainstream success of its predecessor "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" but it was nonetheless a success on the country music charts. It reached #19 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in the U.S. and performed even better on the Canadian country singles chart where it peaked at #3.[4][5][7] It was also noted as one of the "1980 Most Performed Songs of the Year" by the BMI Awards.[6] Gannett contributor Herb Ditzel praised "Mississippi" for expressing how much the singer misses Mississippi without resorting to "fancy guitars, piano or screeching vocals."[1] He refers to "Mississippi" as Daniels' answer to "I Left My Heart in San Francisco."[7] Robert Christgau described it as a "sentimental reminiscence."[8] Music critic Ronald Hawkings criticized the song for being too "saccharine."[9] "Mississippi" was included on Daniels' 1996 box set The Roots Remain.[10] On April 25, 1979 – before it was released as a single – Daniels presented a special pressing of the song to Mississippi governor Cliff Finch.[11] Chart performance
