Arkansongs - The Natural State of Music

This is a regular series on local NPR affiliate KUAR that spotlights musicians from Arkansas and the impact they have had on 20th century music.

I've always know of some of the more popular musicians from Arkansas ... like Johnny Cash, Al Green, Amy Lee and others, but Stephen Koch has done a marvelous job in digging up the history on less well know musicians like Eddie Floyd, Al Hibbler and Larry Totsy Davis.

The podcasts and archives are available at arkansongs.org. There is also an Arkansongs Myspace page.

Check both of them out! I'm sure you will find the podcasts entertaining (good music all around) and our states musical heritage very enlightening!

Also, for a list of more well known musicians to come out of Arkansas, check here...
