Oxford American Music Issue 2007


After several weekends of wandering around Chicago bookstores looking for it, I finally decided to to make use of the telephone and call the Border's on Michigan Avenue. It took the girl a while to get back to me after saying she'd go look for it, which made me a bit nervous, but my annual hunt has proven successful!


26 smokin tunes covering the broad and complex spectrum of Southern music. I'm no expert, i don't spend hours digging through the LPs and CDs at the grungiest, most ironic music store I can find (You know who you are), but these yearly albums consistently yield a fantastic, eclectic mix of great music spanning decades, races and genres and geography.


If you like good music, buy it.
