From Songfacts:
The "Seven Bridges Road" is Woodley Road in Montgomery,
Alabama. This song describes the emotions the singer
feels as he travels the road, which does have 7 bridges
and moss covered trees.
This was written and originally recorded by the
Country singer Steve Young in 1969 on his debut album
Rock Salt & Nails. It is Young's most famous song
The harmonies were not in the Steve Young version
but were added by Ian Matthews in an album produced
by Mike Nesmith (of the Monkees!). This version came
out years before the Eagles used it to warm up on
their Hotel California tour.
