Background and recording

At age 13, Tucker had found commercial success with the release of the top ten country single titled "Delta Dawn". She followed it with several number one singles including "What's Your Mama's Name" and "Blood Red and Goin' Down".[2] Tucker cut her next single between August and November 1973 at the Columbia Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. The sessions for the song were produced by Billy Sherrill and it was written by Bobby Braddock.[3]

Release, chart performance and reception

"I Believe the South Is Gonna Rise Again" was first included as part of Tucker's third studio album, called Would You Lay with Me (In a Field of Stone).[4] In December 1974, it was released as the final single from the album.[3][5] The track spent 11 weeks on the American Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. In February 1975, it peaked at number 18 on the chart and became her first single to miss the top ten.[6] On the Canadian RPM Country chart, the single was more commercially successful, peaking at number ten.[7] The song received positive reception from critic Thom Jurek, who reviewed her third studio album for AllMusic. Jurek commented that she, "handles the lyrics and melodies with so much control and aplomb that it's difficult to believe how young she is here."[8]
