Roots Rock, R&B, Jazz—nearly every form of indigenous American popular music can be traced back to the South. I have my own personal preferences here—Allman Brothers but no Lynyrd Skynrd, and technically Creedence is from Central California. New Orleans gets represented, as do Georgia and Texas, but you won’t find any Grand Ole Opry, Tin Pan Alley, or even Elvis. Still, this Wog-a-Thon checks in at nearly an hour and a half. Unh!
