Home of gospel, blues and country, jazz, soul and rock’n’roll, southern rhythms are the musical heartbeat of America, and southern highways are the roadmap of the American experience. Lazy river roads pass by southern plantations, where slaves once sang field songs and their children invented the blues. Scenic country roads wind through the Blue Ridge Mountains, where Scotch-Irish settlers played the folk tunes of their origin, eventually turning them into country music.
