"'Sweet Southern Comfort'" is a song written by Rodney Clawson and Brad Crisler, and recorded by American country music artist Buddy Jewell. It was released in October 2003 as the second single from his album 'Buddy Jewell'.

Content



The song tells of a small town man comparing small towns in the Southern U.S. to his hometown. Although his town is never mentioned it is implied that it is also in the Southern U.S. It mentions many Southern U.S. states such as "Carolina", Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas, and Georgia.

Music video



The music video was directed by Eric Welch. It was released November 8, 2003. Filmed entirely in sepia tone, it begins and ends with Jewell on the phone with presumably his wife, telling her that he misses her while on the road and can't wait to come home. As the song plays, Jewell is seen performing outside a barn, while various depictions of a simpler time in the Southern US are shown. It was filmed in San Antonio, TX (which is one of the places mentioned in the song).

Chart positions



"Sweet Southern Comfort" debuted at number 47 on the U.S. 'Billboard' Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the week of November 1, 2003.
