Nutbush City Limits

Single (1973)

Explore

Nutbush City Limits is one of Ike & Tina's biggest hits, especially in Europe. Tina wrote the lyrics, because the melody reminds her of her hometown Nutbush. The duo performed this song at several TV-Shows for promotion and live in their concerts, but strangely enough no live version was released on any album. The song was reissued under the Silver Spotlight Series and the Collectables Series and is one of the few Ike & Tina songs which Tina even performed in her concerts after the divorce from Ike. In 1991 she recorded a dance version for her Simply The Best greatest hits collection and for the What’s Love Got To Do With It soundtrack album in 1993 a more original styled version.
