That day came late in 2008.
This year is the 10th anniversary edition of the Southern Music CD, and this year they're offering two CDs with the issue.
Click HERE for "Hold On, Hold On" by Neko Case, one of the 56 selections from the two CDs. Her voice is haunting on this track. And it's a song that grows on you until you need to hear it more and more often.
Other gems on the two CDs are these songs: "I Hate to See You Go" by Little Walter, Ella Fitzgerald covering "Sunshine of Your Love," "Down South Blues" by Dock Boggs, "Street People" by Bobby Charles, Gary Stewart covering "Can't You See," "Righteously" by Lucinda Williams, the Delta Rhythm Boys singing "St. Louis Blues," among many others.
If you're interested in good writing, especially about the South, check out Oxford American. Heck, the Southern Music issue and CD are worth the subscription.
