5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Southern Sounds, August 7, 2000

By 

D. Claiborne (Merritt Island, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Oxford American Southern Sampler 2000 (Audio CD)

The Oxford American magazine bills itself as "The Southern Magazine of Good Writing." The folks down there in Oxford, Mississippi who put this thing together should add "And Great Music" to the phrase. I had never seen the mag until a few months ago when my college-age nephew happened to leave one at my house. I read it front to back in a few hours and was hooked. The editors have really outdone themselves with this Music Issue. The CD will appeal to all tastes and ages! My 14-year-old NSync fan daughter actually likes it and doesn't insist that I take out my "old man music." She and her friends are crazy about the Alejandro Escovedo song and I love the Dolly best of all. But it's all fabulous. The articles are quite well-done, too. Especially the one on Doc Watson and his deceased son. A must have for all music lovers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT SAMPLING, January 9, 2002

I love this CD. It is a great mix. Some fantastic songs that I had never heard, and a couple of oldies I had forgotten about. I am not usually a big 'sampler' fan. But this is a great CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Idea, Fantastic Magazine, October 2, 2000

This is my first year subscription to the magazine and boy, what a treat...it's a great idea..this illustrates the great contribution in music that is generated in the American South. Special treat was Dean Martin's version of "He's Got You "that song really" takes me back"...I've always loved Dean Martin's voice..I plan to buy his recording entitled "Hurting COuntry Songs". Keep up the good work...Next year suggestion: A song recorded by Rosemary Clooney...she hails from Kentucky!! By the way, I miss the Mississippi and You!!
