Rewind Music and More is one of Dallas’ premiere stores for hip-hop, gospel and blues CD’s and mixtapes. After a number of years in Oak Cliff’s Wynnewood Village, they have relocated to a store front at 3823 Ross Avenue just northeast of downtown Dallas. They’re definitely worth a visit for any fans of Texas rap. And remember, there’s no experience quite like visiting an independent record store.

Breakfast at the All Good Cafe in Deep Ellum, Dallas
Dallas’ All Good Cafe is a nice breakfast restaurant in the famed Deep Ellum district east of downtown. From the looks of things, it’s also occasionally a live music venue, so visit them frequently at http://www.allgoodcafe.com/ for upcoming events.
Inside the Headquarters of Music Access in Dallas
While in Dallas, I got a chance to tour the headquarters of Music Access, the only music one-stop still functioning in the South. Their attractive building (complete with courtyard and barbecue grill) is in the process of being enlarged and remodeled. If you own a retail shop and want to carry compact discs in your store, they are a valuable resource. Like them on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Music-Access-Inc/120367634642544.
Arriving in Dallas at midnight and hungry? No problem if you like gourmet hamburgers. Just head over to West Village’s Village Burger Bar (open until 2 AM) and order a delicious hamburger and fries. You could even enjoy it on the outdoor patio with its unique fire-pit. If you’re not fortunate enough to be in Dallas, you can visit them on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Village-Burger-Bar/173162477461.

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.

Three-6 Mafia Inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame, 2012
Memphis rap will also be included in the Memphis Music Hall of Fame, as Three-6 Mafia were honored as one of the original class of inductees. Their award was presented by veteran Memphis rapper Al Kapone.
Each inductee to the Memphis Music Hall of Fame had their name emblazoned on a specially-built Gibson guitar, and these were displayed to the crowd at the press conference.
