Arkansas Record Exchange in North Little Rock is a great place to find that rare vinyl 45 single or LP, but they also sell a decent selection of new compact discs as well, particularly in the soul, blues and jazz genres. It’s definitely worth a visit the next time you’re in Little Rock.

Blowing Your Musical Mind at Manifest Charlotte (@ManifestCLT) @FyeGuy

Manifest (@ManifestCLT) is Charlotte’s largest record store, and undoubtedly one of the largest in the United States. Although it is owned by Transworld Entertainment, the parent company of FYE stores, it is large and has a more indie feel than the average FYE store. Prices are reasonable, and browsing through the extensive vinyl collection would take the better part of a day. Manifest is not to be missed on a trip to Charlotte. 

Criminal Records (@CriminalRecords) has been Atlanta’s alternative music store for nearly twenty years. Featuring both new and used music, it is the place for indie rock, funk, Americana and other niche genres, and its large indoor stage is the perfect place for occasional instore concerts.

Euclid Records (@EuclidRecords) on Chartres Street in New Orleans is a branch of the amazing Euclid Records in Webster Groves, MO near St. Louis. Although both locations carry plenty of vinyl and used product, the New Orleans store seems more geared to strictly vinyl and used product than the St. Louis store. If you can’t visit them in the 9th Ward, visit them at http://www.euclidnola.com, or like them on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/EuclidRecordsNola. The St. Louis store is on Twitter as well.

End of All Music is a cool, hip record store on North Lamar Boulevard in Oxford, Mississippi which opened in March. Its rather unusual name is actually taken from rockabilly legend Charlie Feathers’ quote about his friend and mentor Junior Kimbrough, whom Feathers said was “the beginning and end of all music.” Both Feathers and Kimbrough were from Marshall County, just north of Oxford, and the store meets a real need in a community as hip and arty as Oxford. As one might expect, there is plenty of blues, and all of the cool reissues from labels like Numero Group, Big Legal Mess, Fat Possum, Thompkins Square and Mississippi Records, as well as a fair selection of indie rock on CD. But the big prize at End of All Music is vinyl, both new and used. People wanting to make a pilgrimage there from Memphis or elsewhere (for the selection really is better than some big-city stores), should be aware that End of All Music is closed on Sundays and Mondays, and is open the rest of the week from 10AM to 6 PM.
