Magazine Spotlights Southern Music

The Oxford American -- John Grisham's "Southern Magazine of Good Writing" -- has published its fifth annual music issue. As in previous years, a sampler CD comes with the magazine, giving readers the opportunity to hear many of the artists featured in the periodical, which runs to more than 200 pages. Recordings by Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Kevin Gordon, Steve Young, Deborah Allen and collaborations by Ralph Stanley and Bob Dylan and Earl Scruggs and Billy Bob Thornton are among the country-related tracks on this year's 22-song disc. Marty Stuart contributes an article about Scruggs, and in a forum, Hank Williams Jr., Pam Tillis, Rosanne Cash, Del McCoury, Allison Moorer and others sound off about their favorite Southern tunes, performers and records. 07/19/01
