LEESHA FAULKNER: Jay B Loyd forgotten in rockabilly lore

In researching for our musical exhibit of Tupelo artists for the Oren Dunn City Museum we ran across the music of Jay B. Loyd. Loyd was born in Tupelo in 1937 and died in Collierville, Tennessee, in 2003. Except for some YouTube videos of his 45s, we don’t know much about him, except what comes from an October 2009 post in Rockabillyville blog by a Welshman, who doesn’t identify himself. The blog highlights Loyd’s musical career, such as it was. The blog claims Loyd had three singles issued between 1958 and 1961. Apparently, Loyd sang at a party thrown by Elvis Presley, which landed the lesser-known, quiff-coiffed singer a record contract with ABC-Paramount for a single, “Cross My Heart” and “You’re Just My Kind.” The tunes, sung much in the Elvis style emanated from the pens of the late Clyde Otis, also a Mississippian, and Otis Blackwell, who wrote many songs for Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis.

National poets contribute readings to Tishomingo Arts Council

IUKA • Tishomingo Arts Council is celebrating National Poetry Month this April in a big way. The local arts council has reached out to poets laureate from across the United States to each contribute to one grand celebratory project centered on Tishomingo County, and the response from poets has been huge. “This is an important time for us,” explains TAC chair Brent Bonds, “it was about this time last year that we responded to COVID by moving all of our projects to a digital platform. Our celebration of National Poetry Month in April was our first digital campaign, so this is kinda like a birthday for us - we wanted to do something big.”
