Music / Arkansas Music Poll / Year in Review J for Johnny Cash
Even seven years after his death, Dyess' favorite son is still making headlines, with his induction into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame; the release of his final collaboration with Rick Rubin in February to unsurprisingly near-universal acclaim; Grammy recognition for the crowd-sourced, eerily animated video for "Ain't No Grave" (available at thejohnnycashproject.com), and with the famous jumpsuit he wore while recording "Live at San Quentin" auctioned off for $50,000 — over 10 times its original projected price. Also, the Man in Black was named the single greatest native Arkansan musician of all time by a landslide in our Arkansas Music Poll.

Arkansas Music Poll Arkansas Music Poll giveaway
So the Arkansas Music Poll doesn't stop here.
Rock Candy is going to host a wave of web-only lists, a lot of inevitable debate and—dig this—a chance to win a 7-CD set of Fat Possum Records' newly rereleased Al Green albums of the '70s. (Really. Here they are on my desk.)
All you have to do is, well, fill out your own poll! We're opening up the music poll to the public and each ballot enters you into the random drawing.

Finally.
The Arkansas Music Poll is here.
We've spent months and months tracking down, e-mailing, calling and snail mailing hundreds of people (and physically threatening a few dudes, too) who’ve made an impact on the musical landscape of Arkansas — critics, DJs, historians, musicians, record store owners, super fans—and asked them to contribute a list of their picks for the “greatest Arkansas music act” and “greatest Arkansas albums.”
We took the results, tallied them up, and ended up with a list of the ten greatest Arkansas musicians, bands and local acts of all time. And, brother, those lists are crazy little numbers. You can find them, plus complete results and all of the ballots from our voters (many with companion essays) here.
As far as we know, it's the first and only type of this endeavor ever. And we're proud to be the ones dumb/crazy/reckless enough to do it.
