One of Arkansas\u2019 greatest exports is music. From Delta blues to country, folk, jazz, rockabilly, soul and more, Arkansas musicians have played a vital role in shaping culture \u2014 not just in America, but worldwide. Some, like Johnny Cash and Al Green, are household names. Others, such as classical composer Florence Price and folk singer Granny Almeda Riddle, might not be as well known, but their talents and vision are nevertheless part of the musical tapestry that extends beyond the Natural State.<\/p>\n
