For the fifth year in a row, the Oxford American magazine, "The Southern
Magazine of Good Writing," has released its annual double issue on Southern
music, which includes a CD featuring a variety of Southern artists and
music. In the past, we have featured numerous notable songwriters, but
rarely do we feature a songwriter as frequently as we have Steve Young in
this issue. Two of the songs on the CD are Steve Young's "Long Way to
Hollywood " and "Seven Bridges Road" and we have included one feature article
written by Dave Eason about Young's music and how it acted as somewhat of a
road map for life. Attached is a press release that details more of the aspects of our
music issue that we encourage you to share with visitors to your web site as well as
members of your mailing list or any other fans of Steve Young.

Our annual music issue helps us to preserve and promote lesser known
Southern artists and musical forms: Ten percent of our proceeds go to the
Music Maker foundation, an organization that provides monetary relief to
struggling blues artists, and this year we were given the Blues Foundation's
Keeping the Blues Alive award. Look for the Fifth Annual Music Issue on
newsstands at the beginning of July, and please indulge yourself in all it
has to offer. If you have any questions, please contact the Oxford American
