It Still Moves Quotes

“Precisely how and why the American South has shaped and nurtured so much successful art is something sociologists and anthropologists will still be bickering about a half century from now. All I know is that it is mostly true. That particular chunk of rock and water and dirt and kudzu, where people speak in warbles—voices stuck in perpetual song, all slow consonants and giggly cadences, singing, always—and eat too much pie and drink Mountain Dew with spoonfuls of sugar stirred in, bears wild and ridiculous fruit.”
― Amanda Petrusich, It Still Moves: Lost Songs, Lost Highways, and the Search for the Next American Music
