Southern Rock (Page 1 of 3)

I think Molly Hatchet is a good choice too. I go for Bloody Reunion and Beatin'the odds from Double Trouble Live.

Nobody has mentioned the band that started it all the Allman Brothers.Duane was the best saw them play at the fillmore east in 1970 and painter's mill 2 weeks before duane died.

Saw Feat at Lisner the nite L. George died,great concert but a sad day for music!!

I have seen just about all the major rock and blues artist from the 60's to now and most of them are still alive i don't think Joe has much to worry about, i have already seen him 5 times and he is still alive and well!!!

Budda, don't know them but I'll check them out. Tarus, were you at the Bonnie Raitt/ John Lee Hooker show at P.M? Hooker had this GREAT guitar player named Albert Lee (not Alvin/10 yrs after). The only guy I can find under that name is a country player. Do you know if it's the same guy?

ya little feat waiting fo columbus now your talkin Kind of forgot they were a southern rock band so many different styles they incorporate

OK, this topic strikes a main nerve with J Dawg. What about The Marshall Tucker Band, The Charlie Daniels Band, Wet Willie, and The Henry Paul Band (after he left the Outlaws), just to mention a few. As long as I can remember Little Feat were based out of LA, but that New Orleans beat they perfected makes you think of the south. Let's not forget .38 Special and Blackfoot too. Larry Junstrom, .38's bass player was in Skynyrd before Leon Wilkeson joined them and Rickey Medlocke played drums with them before he left and became lead guitar in Blackfoot. Ironically Rickey is back in Skynyrd sharing lead duty with Gary Rossington. Before Hughie Thomason put the Outlaws back together he was the third guitarist in Skynyrd for about 7 or 8 yrs. With Gary, Rickey, and Hughie leading the guitar assault in Skynyrd over the last decade they never sounded better since the original line-up met it's demise. Check out Live from Steel Town or Lynyrd Skynyrd Lyve on DVD and see what I mean. To remember THE REAL DEAL you gotta watch Freebird the Movie and dig the footage of the original band in England opening for the Stones.

Thanks Michael, just trying to stir things up!  I got to put "The River" at the top of all of Joe's music. Seing it on Rockpalast was a highlight this year. Hope it's on set list in May, catching him twice in a week
