More Mississippi Sound

While our state's status as "the birthplace of American music" certainly sounds impressive, it doesn't say much about where Mississippi music is today. The artists of old created a fair amount of laudable and memorable work here, to be sure, but the latest generation of singers, songwriters, rappers and bands is still creating and making a mark on today's music world. Here are a few recent releases worth checking out.
