Description: A city‑hall slush fund, a dissenting vote, and a rainy weekend in Tallahassee accidentally created Word of South, the South’s most unlikely laboratory for music and literature. In this episode of Salvation South Deluxe, Chuck Reece walks Cascades Park with co‑founder Mark Mustian, hears BJ Barham of American Aquarium and novelist Kristen Arnett blow up old ideas about who counts as Southern, relives Muscle Shoals legend Donnie Fritts’s last hurrah in a packed nightclub, and joins Tommy Prine as he reflects on his father John Prine’s legacy and what it means to be a Southerner
