Here's a great quarterly magazine, The Oxford American- "The Southern Magazine of Good Writing"
Issue 79 , The 2012 Southern Music Issue, had a fascinating article about Chris King by Amanda Petrusich, and the cover CD contained some amazing music from Louisiana, much of it I'd never heard before (ok I knew Professor Longhair, Robert Pete Williams and Dr. John).
Try these three tracks for starters (YouTube videos):
Sugar Bee, Cleveland Crochet and Hill Billy Ramblers
Real Live Living Hurtin' Man by Johnny Adams
Reconsider Me, Margaret Lewis
I'm going straight down to Louisiana!

A past issue featured Howlin' Wolf on the cover, and an article by Peter Guralnick:
