Mississipp​i - The Birthplace Of American Music. Yes!

The godfather of surf. Mr. Dick Dale.
Honestly I don't know why the new surf bands like to call it surf punk, I guess it sounds edgier. (is that a word?)

Conway Twitty - I'd Love To Lay You Down (I'm not a fan of his, but) from Friars-Point, MS

Hayley Williams from Meridian

She's great too. Her hair is frikkin awesome, need to do mine like that. They remind me of Paramore.

You're finding some stuff I've never heard. I like it.

I can't remember if someone posted Albert King, I saw him once at the delta blues festival.

Well, now I feel stupid, I didn't even read the video,

I didn't know Paramore was from here. That is awesome. See, something I didn't know.

I've heard of the Kudzu Kings but have never listened to their music.

Not bad. There's talent in this state and surrounding that needs to be posted. I'll keep searching for more too.

Hats off to Mississippi, and particularly to Clarksdale, the omphalos of American folk music.

But the birthplace of American music was Africa.

Christian Rock Genre (I think just a few from here within the band)

Love Song for a Savior - Jars of Clay

You are correct. My mom was born and raised in Clarksdale, moved to New Orleans then back to MS.

So, I know. But, they were also changed from their experiences, harsh treatment here and the Blues were born.

Wouldn't you agree?

I'm very fickle when it comes to music. In just the right setting I like jam bands but I almost never pick that on my own to listen to. My taste is all over the map. A current favorite is MGMT. They are not from MS but I'll post some anyway, you may like it
what are some of yur current favs?

reply to post by Astyanax


What about hill country music? wouldn't that be Irish roots?

reply to post by tanda7


ohhh, I like that band and song.

Never heard it before. I like all kinds of music. My current favs. Let me look. I'll post some.

Appalachian music from the East Coast of the USA. I like all kinds of music.

The National - Exile (They're American, fall under my current favs)

Yes very nice. Very patient and mature. Rare qualities in music. I will check them out more tomorrow. Off the dreamland now. That was a nice song to contemplate while going to sleep.

Oops I thought you were gone. But I'm glad you quoted it. Now, it's saved.

Videos were'n't working for me.
