DESCRIPTION
A field guide to Alabama: Music sites, civil rights landmarks, barbecue joints, waterways to fish or float, and a quest to find the state's creative expression through folk art.
Inside Wildsam Alabama, you'll find songs and stories from inside renowned recording studios; a road trip to plate lunch restaurants that tell a city’s story, civil rights landmarks, natural wonders and enclaves of creativity; Alabama playlists with listening notes; interviews with a Grammy-winning songwriter, top chefs, a NASA specialist, a civil rights advocate, a Pulitzer-winning journalist and a legendary studio bassist; delightful miscellany from the archives; selective recommendations for finds in the region and trusted travel essentials.
“The green highway sign says ‘Welcome to Alabama the Beautiful.’ It’s a simple slogan, one any state could use. But if you travel southward toward the red-clay country beyond, Alabama makes good on that claim in unexpected ways. ”
