We don't often feature magazines here, but for the annual Oxford American Music Issue, we'll make an exception. Many magazines come with a free CD, but it's the care and research that goes into the Oxford's that makes it so special. Under the loose banner of "Southern Music", it ranges from Dixieland to Dwight Yoakam, Monk to Betty Davis, with essays on each of the 26 tracks. Then there's the features: the making of Dylan's Blonde On Blonde; an inside look at blogs with indie rock band, The Annuals; music related fiction, and much more. A rare magazine that actually qualifies as a killer stocking stuffer... or treat yourself!
