Bridge Song Top Ten: Burning Bridges (#6)

Tweet

Lots of bridges cross the Mississippi River. I’m still on the “K” side (for those of you who don’t know: television and radio stations west of the Mississippi have their call letters begin with the letter K), but that doesn’t mean there’s not another bridge in my future: one in the title of a song! #6: Burning Bridges - Jack Scott One of the more frequently covered “bridge” songs on the list (along with #1….), Jack Scott’s 1960 top five hit has seen a few re-dos over the years. Most notably, by Glen Campbell, who had a top 20 country hit with the song in 1967. Jack Scott has a song on my 100 favorites list. Not this one, but he had a good voice and a career that continued pretty much up until his death in 2019. This is one of his more memorable songs.
