British born, roots phenom, Jake Bugg joins us this week on Beale Street Caravan. Jake's new record, Shangri-La is a collection of amazingly well-crafted tunes that belie his 19 yrs of age and it's resonated with music lovers in a big, big way. His journey to Shangri La began in no small part here in Memphis, so naturally he came back through town to wrap up his latest tour. Also on the program, BSC contributor Adam Hill drops in for another episode of Made In Memphis. This week he discusses the story behind Sid Selvidge's Cold Of The Morning.

The Oxford American is an American quarterly literary magazine dedicated to "documenting the complexity and vitality of the American South." Each year, the magazine devotes an entire issue to the subject of music and this year's issue focuses on the incredible music from the state of Tennessee. We sit down with OA music editor Rick Clark in the BSC studio and let him take us on a guided tour of the stories and the exquisitely constructed playlist found on the 2 CD's that accompany each issue. It's a live-in-the-studio listening session of the best mixtape you've ever heard.
