Music by South Carolinians

		The Complete James Brown Christmas Even though Georgia repeatedly tries to claim Brown for its own, he was actually born in Barnwell County, South Carolina. He also spent the last 30 years of his life on an estate in Beech Island, near Aiken. Let the Godfather of Soul get you in the Christmas spirit with his collection of Christmas melodies!
		Cracked Rear View The Cracked Rear View album has sold over 16 million copies worldwide. Of course, many South Carolinians knew about Hootie long before the rest of the world did, and remember listening to them play at local bars and parties. All four members went to the University of South Carolina in Columbia, where guitarist Mark Bryan first heard Darius Rucker singing in the dorm shower. This CD is a must have for any record collection.
		Music by Dizzy Gillespie Born in 1917, John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie grew up in Cheraw. He taught himself to play trumpet at age 12 and began recording at the age of 20. Dizzy was known for his puffy cheeks and adventurous musical style. He was a pioneer of bebop and modern jazz. Gillespie's trademark upswept trumpet was supposedly adopted by the artist after one of his trumpets got bent in an accident in 1953.
		Far, Far From Home The 2nd South Carolina String Band plays a musical camp concert using real Civil War-era instruments. This concert was filmed live in Gettysburg.
		Marshall Tucker Band Carolina Christmas The Marshall Tucker Band formed in 1972 in Spartanburg. The origin of their name is attributed to a rehearsal in an old warehouse, when one of the band members looked at the key tag to the building and it said "Marshall Tucker." Marshall Tucker was actually the name of a blind piano tuner that had rented the building before them. Enjoy their spirited collection of Christmas carols during your holiday!
