With a TRIO of stars on the cover; an original sampler CD featuring tracks by Hank Williams, Rhiannon Giddens, and Dolly Parton; playlists curated by Rissi Palmer, Tomás Doncker, and Gretchen Peters; and contributions from more than forty writers and visual artists, the 176-page magazine hits newsstands mid-December.
The Oxford American’s 24th annual Southern Music Issue celebrates the multi-hued roots of country music.
We continue the spirit of last year’s iconic star-studded covers with three country legends, pictured in the joy of performance: Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, and the queen mother of country, Dolly Parton. Though the three legendary musicians may be most known for their solo careers, OA poetry editor Rebecca Gayle Howell writes about the 35th anniversary of their first collaboration as Trio: “It was not just another supergroup moment. Trio weaved country traditions and the ease of pop music with the wounds of patriarchy. In delicate, healing truths Ronstadt and her friends reached out—and then all across the South, in carpeted bedrooms with doors closed, mothers and daughters reached back.”
