Music Friday: "Midnight in Mississippi"

For me, one of the iconic albums of alt-country during the 90s is Dog Days by Blue Mountain, the band out of the fine city of Oxford, Mississippi, a town I wouldn't mind moving to after I retire.

Blue Mountain disbanded at one time, but they're back together now as far as I can tell even though it's hard to track down what's going on with the band via the InterWebs. The album above came out a few years ago, and today's featured song from it recounts a story borne of juke joint culture in the Mississippi Delta, the area where Delta Blues music originated.

Hope you enjoy "Midnight in Mississippi."

I'm also wondering, if some readers are inclined to share, what you might think are some of the important albums of alt-country during the 90s? I have some ideas, but I'd rather hear yours.

Music Friday: "Wink"

If you click the link HERE, you get to enjoy Blue Mountain playing one of their more popular "alt-country" songs, "Wink."

They're playing at Proud Larry's, a great place for drinks and dining in Oxford, Mississippi (Did you happen to stumble there when you went for the Mizzou game last year, Kenson?). 

Blue Mountain is now back together, and they have a new album out in mid-August.
