For the better part of the last decade, I have been a subscriber to the great periodical the Oxford American.
Published out of Central Arkansas University in Conway, Arkansas, the Oxford American has went out of print at least three times in its lifetime, but has had a dedicated reader base that keeps bringing it back to life.
This weeks playlist is a tribute to the annual Southern Music CD's put out annually by the magazine, with all the tracks coming from past discs put out by the magazine.
Always full of a wide variety of great music, the Oxford American has, for the last two years, dedicated the CD to a particular state.
I finally got around to listening to this years "Alabama" disc and it is, as usual, wonderful.
There are no notes (by me, at least) for this weeks playlist as the notes contained in the magazine are, not only informative, but much better than anything I could come up with.
I encourage everyone to track down this great magazine and support, not only the good music they put out, but the great writing contained in its pages.
