Around here, we always look forward to the Oxford American‘s annual Music Issue. And this year, as usual, it’s worth the wait.
The free CD with tunes from Dwight Yoakam, Thelonious Monk, Percy Mayfield, Iris DeMent, Fred Neil, and Memphis’ own Amy LaVere, and 18 others is worth the issue cover price. But as usual with OA, the writing and photography is also stellar.
It’s the perfect read for Southern music junkies. Pick it up at your favorite bookstore or newsstand, or check it out online at the OA website.
