Long supporter of bluesy Southern alternative rock, Fashion Designer Billy Reid is releasing a limited edition music box just in time for the holidays. The box made from reclaimed heart pine wood will include a compilation CD of music selected by Reid as well as two short sleeve and two long sleeve t-shirts that will feature Patterson Hood from Drive By Truckers, Justin Townes Earle, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit.Since its inception Reid’s epoynomous label has become the sartorial upgrade for the male set who’s lifestyle is rooted in the southern sensibility and heritage. This merging of down-home spirit with the sounds of the south make for quite charming results. With only 200 units being produced this is the ultimate gift of exclusivity. THE VERDICT: Speaking as a southern gent, purchasing this music box is a no-brainer. ($295.00 , Available 11/15 at Billy Reid—54 Bond St. NYC 10012. and BillyReid.com).—J. Dwayne Joseph
