The ninth edition of the souther music edition of the Oxford American is out now. This is one of my favorite issues of any magazine every year. The articles are always informative and well written and I come away with new knowledge about music every year. The magazine also comes with a cd sampler that showcases some great southern music. I always find a new singer from the cd that I had never heard of before. This year's issue already has two articles that hit close to home with me. One was an article about Barry and Susan Cowsill, members of the musical Cowsill Family and both residents of the crescent city. The other article is by Sheryl St. Germain and is entitle "Why She Won't Leave" and explains the hold that the city of New Orleans has on it's people and why we won't live anywhere else. It's a great piece of writing. This issue is out on the newstands now, so pick it up.
