One of the oldest and possibly most represented form of tradition in the South is music. From Ragtime to Blues, from Bluegrass to Pop-Country, from Swing stylings to modern R&B, the South has birthed and welcomed some of the greatest musical genres of all time. I challenge you to find your absolute favorite artist or group that is FROM the South. Explain why they top your personal favorites and how they, if they actually do, still connect themselves to the South. Provide a sample of your favorite song by the artist. If for some reason you know no one from the South that you enjoy listening to, give the name of your favorite and WHY you don't enjoy any southern artists (if that's even possible). For example, I might choose
Jermaine Dupri who produced the song, "Welcome to Atlanta," if he was, in fact, my favorite artist. He was born and raised in Atlanta, GA and still produces songs about his home.
