Every year since about 2000, the outstanding literary magazine OXFORD AMERICAN publishes a special issue, devoted almost exclusively to music of the South, and includes an incredible CD sampler that accompanies many of the articles.  The range of music is infinite:  blues, gospel, folk, bluegrass, Cajun, humorous, classical, jazz, experimental, rock -- you name it, and it has probably at some time appeared on one or more of the annual OXFORD AMERICAN Southern Music CDs.  The sampler for 2006 features:
