3 Doors Down

While looking through my iTunes library, I realized I have very little music from southern artists. I'm not a big fan of most country, and I have a very limited taste in hip hop and rap music. In fact, the musicians I thought are from the South turn out not to be, indicating how the southern image can be promoted in some music genres and industries. But one group that I really like happens to be from Mississippi and still does a lot for the Gulf area. This group, if you did not already conclude from the title of this post, is 3 Doors Down. 3 Doors Down is an alternative rock group from Escatawpa, Mississippi. They first popped up on the radar with their hit song "Kryptonite", but my personal favorite song of the band's is "Let Me Go". The group has not duplicated its success since "Kryptonite", but I still enjoy their songs, style, and lyrics.

I also really enjoy how the group gives back to the places that helped them get started. After Hurricane Katrina, the band helped raise money for the Gulf Area especially hard-hit areas in Mississippi. Hopefully in the next few years, 3 Doors Down will have continuing success and make more hits.
