“Chimneyville” is the nickname for the city of Jackson, Mississippi. The name was coined after Union forces under General Sherman burned the city to the ground in July, 1863, leaving only the brick chimneys standing from what had once been elegant houses. The Chimneyville record label was a subsidiary of Malaco Records, first distributed by Cotillion, then Atco, then TK. Malaco was started in 1962 as a booking agency in Jackson, Mississippi, by Mitchell Malouf, Tommy Couch, and Wolf Stephenson. They also opened the Malaco recording studio in 1967, mostly recording local artists and radio jingles, but licensed an album and a number of singles by Mississippi Fred McDowell to Capitol.

We went through that before. The city had been occupied by the US, and reoccupied by the south. After being retaken, the buildings used by the south when they reoccupied were burned. Still, rather a lot of buildings did survive.
Sherman was brilliant, and fought a generous and magnanimous campaign. Hood was brash, rash, and trash, and did more damage to the confederate states than ever he did to the north. Yet you condemn Sherman and never do I hear a word of criticism from you of Hood.
