As a kid growing up, we would drive to see my family in Augusta or Union Point Georgia. The whole way we would listen Jerry Clower, one of my dad's favorite comedians. Jerry Clower was born in Mississsippi and lived around the Yazoo river. He represents more poor white southerners as most of his jokes revolve around coon hunting and dealing with rich folks. His accounts make the Mississippi region sound more backwoods and relatable. I think it is a pretty good depiction especially because a lot of his stories take place during the Great Depression.

Josh--a little more depth is required. Could you provide specific evidence--either by describing his material or showing a clip? As of now, the post doesn't tell me much about him or his act.
