[Repeal The 17th]

My favorite southern rock?

Maybe I misunderstood the question ....

[ropin71]

Ozark Mountain Daredevils!

[j_tull]

Green Grass and High Tides. Long live the three guitar front!

[j_tull]

On second thought, Mexican Radio by Wall of Voodoo is pretty good, too.

[AzSteven]

Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Simple Man. Even today that song brings a slight tear to my eye.

Allman Brothers Band
Midnight Rider
-
Well, I’ve got to run to keep from hiding,
And I’m bound to keep on riding.
And I’ve got one more silver dollar,
But I’m not gonna’ let them catch me, no,
Not gonna’ let ‘em catch the midnight rider.

And I don’t own the clothes I’m wearin’,
And the road goes on forever,
And I’ve got one more silver dollar,
But I’m not gonna’ let them catch me, no
Not gonna let ‘em catch the midnight rider.

And I’ve gone by the point of caring,
Some old bed I’ll soon be sharing,
And I’ve got one more silver dollar,
But I’m not gonna’ let ‘em catch me, no
Not gonna’ let them catch the midnight rider.

Ramblin’ Man
-
Lord, I was born a ramblin’ man,
Tryin’ to make a livin’ and doin’ the best I can.
And when its time for leavin’,
I hope you’ll understand,
That I was born a ramblin man.

Well my father was a gambler down in georgia,
He wound up on the wrong end of a gun.
And I was born in the back seat of a greyhound bus
Rollin down highway 41.

Lord, I was born a ramblin’ man,
Tryin’ to make a livin’ and doin’ the best I can.
And when its time for leavin’,
I hope you’ll understand,
That I was born a ramblin man.

I’m on my way to New Orleans this mornin’,
Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee,
They’re always having a good time down on the bayou,
Lord, them delta women think the world of me.

Lord, I was born a ramblin man...

I’ve got killer tickets for Greg Allman at Chastain on 10/10.

Whatever else you say about him, the guy is a survivor. And can still do great music.

[Drumbo]

RIP Lowell - There was never a smother Southern soul man.

[Arrowhead1952]

Good evening to everyone at the Canteen.
In early tonight, but signing off in a few minutes.

[Bob Mc]

“Honest Joe” by Throttlerod

Highway Song by Blackfoot

I saw the Allman Brothers in Dallas in 73 just months before Duane was killed, In my opinion they were the best at "Southern Rock". But I put up a few of my favorites which you rarely see listed.

 

The Band "The Night They Drove old Dixie Down"

Little Feat w/ Lowell George "Dixie Chicken"

Little Feat w/o Lowell George "Let It Roll"

[rmlew]

Would Pantera count or Corrosion of Conformity count?
If not, I suppose that, Elvis (sh!! don't encourage my mother), Lynyrd Skynyrd, and ZZTop work.

[taildragger]

Molly Hatchett's Cover of the Allman's "Dreams I'll never See" is incredible.

Charile Daniels: Saddle Trap and Birmingham Blues....

Marshall Tucker, lordie my favorite from my high school days; "Desert Skies" and "I should have never started Loving you" not to mention "Take the Highway" and "24 hours at a time", live especially.

Blackfoot; "Highway Song".

Under-rated guitarist; John Daranza of the Elvin Bishop group.

under-rated Base Player: the heavy set fellow from the "Atlanta Rythm Section" whose name escapes me.

The best Southern Band no one had ever heard of:

A bunch of Conneticut guys who use to open up for all of the above at big venues in the North East: "Fountainhead"

How and why they never made the big time I'll never know. If you can find their music check out: "Stay Away", and "Pirates Life" which is a long anthem that got people going crazy.

The Allman's So many favorites I do not know where to start: It's Not My Cross to Bear, Midnight Rider, Melissa, Jessica, Ramblin' Man, Blue Sky, Hell and High Water......

[LS]

Actually, our southern rock band ("Rampage") had a terrific song that was as good as any, called "Mississippi Funk."

Had a powerful bass line, somewhat like "My Girl," and the lyric was:

Take me to the Delta, where I can sing the blues

Someone give me shelter, don't want no excuse

Playin' that Mississippi funk, and that bayou music too,

Playin' that Mississippi funk, girl I wanna get with you.

[McGruff]

Won't you welcome the florida guitar army. The Outlaws!

[Cloverfarm]

Boy, it’s hard to choose just one! But I’d have to go with “Sweet Home Alabama” because of the choir and piano.

[lesser_satan]

I'd say Skynyrd but I know there will be over 9000 Skynyrd posts by the time I post this, so:

Hard to Handle by The Black Crowes

Righteously by Lucinda Williams

Hold On Loosely by .38 Special

Uneasy Rider and Uneasy Rider '88 by Charlie Daniels

Homesick by Atlanta Rhythm Section

Keep Your Hands to Yourself by The Georgia Satellites

I know they're from New Jersey, but I always thought The Smithereens' A Girl Like You had kind of a southern rock vibe.

From Mojo Nixon, Redneck Rampage (fast forward to 0:53 if you want to skip naughty intro) and Elvis is Everywhere

Southern metal: Cowboys from Hell by Pantera

Fried Chicken and Coffee by Nashville Pussy (warning: naughty lyrics)

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I like that song about ‘whiskey for my men and beer for my horses.’ (I’m not up on Current Events in this area, obviously.)

However, I did hear (through my younger co-workers who are in their THIRTIES fer Pete’s Sake and should be worrying about Global Warming or some other such stupidity) that Metallica has a new album coming out this week!

Does knowing that make me “hip and happenin’?” LOL!
