Oxford American's 10th annual Southern Music issue is out now and includes two Cd's this year. The Cd's cover stars of the past like Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis (on the cover), Big Star and Lightnin' Hopkins along with newer artist like Neko Case, R.E.M., and Vic Chesnutt. The best thing about this compilation though is discovering the musicians that never quite made it to the star level in spite of their talents. The variety of music covered shows that Southern Music is more an attitude than any specific sound.
