Thick in the South is an album by Wynton Marsalis released in 1991, paying homage to the musical traditions of the southern United States. It combines elements of blues, gospel, and jazz with a narrative approach.
The record features original compositions by Marsalis inspired by Southern culture. It includes collaborations with musicians such as Marcus Roberts and saxophonist Wes Anderson, among others.
Critics highlighted its evocative atmosphere and ability to blend styles. However, it did not achieve the same commercial impact as other works by the trumpeter from that period.
