Oxford American Memphis Music Issue - MAGAZINE ONLY

Amazing Memphis Music Issue with pieces on Jay Reatard, The Oxford American is delighted to announce that its 26th annual Southern Music Issue will center the artists and sounds of Memphis, Tennessee. This is our first Music Issue dedicated to a Southern city! And, in the spirit of Memphis’s rich musical legacy, we’re pressing a limited-edition vinyl LP to accompany the issue as an optional add-on.

An exceptional lineup of contributors will celebrate the Bluff City as the unofficial capital of the Delta, where American sounds and stories flow between the riverbanks of time. Forgotten Memphis melodies will resurface, beloved icons will mingle with lesser-known trailblazers, and distinctly Memphian spaces will come to life through reported essays, profiles, personal narratives, visual art, experimental fiction, and more.
