State Songs is a concept album released by John Linnell in 1999. It was his third solo project and first full solo album. It consists of tracks that are named after, and are at least partially inspired by, 15 of the 50 U.S. states. The album is surrealist in nature. The album has received positive reviews from critics and peaked No. 18 on the CMJ 200 chart. "Montana" was released as the single for the album. It was pressed by Erika Records. The single also featured the non-album track "Louisiana" as the B-side. Originally, "South Carolina" was the album's single, but the track was too long for the grooves to fit on the record that resembled the shape of the contiguous United States.
