DYLAN GOES #1

When you are great you are simply just great. Bob Dylan has his first  number one album since 1976 "Desire". It's also his highest debuting album and his best sales week since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking data in 1991.
"Modern Times" is Dylan's third consecutive top 10 studio set, following 1997's "Time Out of Mind" and 2001's "Love & Theft." Aside from "Desire" and "Modern Times," only two other Dylan albums assumed the plateau on the chart: 1974's "Planet Waves" and the 1975 classic "Blood on the Tracks."
Really he has little or no competition....no real "artists" that are making quality music. On the charts and his "Competition" are posers like Danity Kane, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, Method Man and The Roots.....All I can say about these so called artists is "Here Today Gone Tomorrow" while Dylan will be in our consciouses and lexicon for decades to come. Go Bobby go show them how its done!!!!

GREAT SOUTHERN SONGS

Comming from southern heratige I have always gravitated to Southern Music and Southern writers. I have always thought that though the south may not be as "Cultured" as our neighbors to the north, the south has its own rich culture. A culture created by its closeness to the land and the hard living of its people. The south birthed the blues, Jazz and writers like Falkner. The Atlanta Journal constitution created an interesting list of "The 100 Best Songs Of The South", besides the choice of the song Rosa Parks by OutKast the list is very solid
Here are their picks for the top 10

1. Strange Fruit"
Billie Holiday (1939). Atrocity becomes bitter poetry in this anti-lynching song written by a Jewish schoolteacher and union activist from New York named Abel Meeropol (aka Lewis Allan). When Billie Holiday took it on, it became one of the most powerful pieces of popular music ever recorded. The chilling images are made even more horrifying by Holiday's reportorial, matter-of-fact delivery.
2. "Summertime"
written by George and Ira Gershwin and DuBose Heyward (1935). Our favorite version is by jazz goddess Sarah Vaughan, who sings smooth and slow, capturing the pace of life in a land where time is marked by jumping fish and tall cotton.
3. "A Change Is Gonna Come"
Sam Cooke (1964). At once fearful and hopeful, this posthumously released song captures the long-standing Southern tension between running away and standing your ground.
4. "Mississippi Goddam"
Nina Simone (1964). A civil rights polemic fueled by generations' worth of anger.
5. "We Shall Overcome"
Originally titled "I Shall Overcome" by Charles A. Tindley (1900); later rewritten by Guy Carawan. Its simple lyrics hardly leap from the page. But seeing and hearing a group of people sing those words -- arms crossed over their chests, hands linked together --  it becomes an enduring source of strength.
6. "Dixie"
written by Daniel Decatur Emmett (1859). A minstrel song written by a Northerner that was later adopted by soldiers and supporters of the Confederacy. It has a past fraught with racial tension that assures continuing controversy, but the lyrics themselves are largely free of such baggage. It's all in the context.
7. "Rocky Top"
The Osborne Brothers (1968). It sounds like a traditional bluegrass tune, but it was written by pop and country songwriters Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, the married team behind many Everly Brothers' hits. Boudleaux, a classically trained violinist, once played with the Atlanta Symphony.
8. "Rosa Parks"
OutKast (1998). New York-spawned hip-hop takes a seat on the front porch as its country cousins Dre and Big Boi spin a wickedly melodic tale over an acoustic guitar, a harmonica and a knee slap.
9. "Georgia on My Mind"
Ray Charles (1960). Thanks to the late, great Albany, Ga., native's wonderfully earnest delivery, this old, sweet song -- like Charles -- will forever stay on our minds.
10. "Coat of Many Colors"
Dolly Parton (1971). A poignant tale of Parton's dirt-poor but love-rich upbringing in the East Tennessee mountains. It would have sounded weepy coming from anyone else, but Parton turns sadness into sublime beauty.
