“Shake What God Gave Ya”
James Otto brings his Nashville-to-Memphis, country-soul blend to Water Festival. James Otto may be 100 percent country, but he’s also got a heart full of soul. On his third album, Shake What God Gave Ya, Nashville’s breakout star puts his God-given lung power to work on a set of songs that make even more determined use of the old-school R&B grit in his powerhouse voice. “I look at my sound as somewhere between Nashville and Memphis,” says Otto, setting the new record’s compass point firmly on the map.

The Party Never Ends
Our own Debbi Covington’s gorgeous new cookbook asks the question “why wait to celebrate?” (Story by Mark Shaffer, Food Photography by Paul Nurnberg) Debbi Covington’s Everyday Gourmet column has been reason enough to pick up a copy of this publication for nearly a decade. Trust me, there are file folders and loose-leaf notebooks stuffed with pages of Debbi’s recipes in kitchens all over the Lowcountry and beyond. Anyone who’s ever attended an event she’s catered or even a simple social gathering she’s thrown together knows that Debbi is passionate about her craft and damn good at it.

Baptized in Sweet Tea
Author/columnist Ken Burger heads to Beaufort with a new book about the South. – Review by Margaret Evans, Editor As a longtime columnist here at Lowcountry Weekly, I am always intrigued by other columnists and how they ply their trade – especially those who are much more successful than I and who, unlike me, have had the gumption to compile their old columns into books to be published. Ken Burger is just such a columnist, and I salute him.

The Two Americas (and me)
You regular readers know that many of my big ideas – and the occasional little epiphany – come to me while I’m exercising. The fact that I’ve been a complete slug this summer explains a lot about the recent caliber of this column… But I did happen to be at the Y on the morning the Supreme Court announced its ruling on the Affordable Care Act (or “Obamacare” if you prefer).

In The Moment
A great old Twilight Zone episode played on MeTV one night recently. It got me thinking about time and space, so the series’ creator Rod Serling (1924-1975) would have been happy. The story, “The Thirty-Fathom Grave,” starred Simon Oakland (remember him as Lieutenant Schrank in the movie version of “West Side Story”?), Mike Kellin (“American Buffalo”), and Bill Bixby (“The Incredible Hulk”). The year is 1963. A U.S. Navy destroyer is on a routine patrol in the South Pacific when its sonar detects the sound of metallic clanging under water. It sounds like a hammer banging against the hull of a ship.

WHHI-TV, Crossing the Bridges of Beaufort County
The local television station will offer The Beaufort News, The Bluffton News and The Hilton Head News daily On December 18, 2005 Beaufort lost its only newscast when WJWJ-TV pulled the plug on its evening news report. A few years later in 2008, the Beaufort Gazette moved from its building on Salem Road to Bluffton, a move the publication still maintains was not a “merger” of the Gazette and The Island Packet. But we in Beaufort quickly realized the shift in priority. The dynamics between municipalities north and south of the Broad became more divided than ever after the move, to no one’s fault or benefit.
