"Tennessee Homesick Blues" was a song written and recorded by Dolly Parton that was featured in the movie Rhinestone. Released as a single from the film's soundtrack, it topped the U.S. country singles charts in September 1984. A reminiscence of Parton's rural Tennessee upbringing, the song was similar in theme to some of her earlier compositions, including "My Tennessee Mountain Home".
