Re: "Giants of Southern Rock Guitar"
Guenter, I was just about to log out when I saw this thread and stopped in my tracks. This link has some of my favourite guitarists and some great memories. Thanks for finding this.

Amen brother, what I find preposterous is Allen Collins name isn't mentioned. What about Barry Bailey? Billy Jones? Ed King for Christ's sake? Damn! I miss Hughie.

How 'bout Steve Gaines?????

a small mention but he is in there:
At the center of the band’s sound is Gary Rossington, whose guitar playing can soar or turn swampy, depending on the song at hand. Rossington’s biting Les Paul, coupled with the Firebird sting of the late, great Allen Collins, formed a greasy tangle on such classics as “Sweet Home Alabama” and “The Ballad of Curtis Loew.”
I picked this list up from warren Hayes's facebook page, - he sounded chuffed to be included.

Re: "Giants of Southern Rock Guitar"
No probs with Warren, he deserves it for sure... how about Billy Crain, another mofo player in Henry Paul's band:

Re: "Giants of Southern Rock Guitar"
thanks G for the list, hard to argue against those choices. I would add Mike Campbell, seems like an oversight since his current gear list includes a '68 LP goldtop and a '70's LP Custom.

Oversight is part and parcel status quo for these sort of lists...tread carefully or I may go into 2,500 word screed on Rolling Stone lists and oversight!

NO! It was the combination Gibson and Fender guitars that gave The Outlaws their sound (in my most humblest of opinions)

I liked Hughies country twang best, he played Strats and Tele's, Billy Jones (also RIP) played LP's as did Freddy Salem after Henry Paul left

Re: "Giants of Southern Rock Guitar"
The Outlaw's self-titled debut album ranks very high among my ALL TIME favorite records. The production value of that record was amazing as well. From beginning to end, an outstanding effort. Absolutely brilliant.
Unfortunately, I don't think any of the Outlaws' subsequent releases ever matched that one.

Stu they were a huge favorite of mine and I thought the 2 follow ups, Lady In Waiting and Hurry Sundown were great too. Once Hughie and Henry were at odds with each other the music suffered immensely. Saw them on the reunion tour in '05 and they kicked butt.

This guy has no idea what he's talking about here regarding Sweet Home Alabama. Ed King was the featured guitar on this song on a Stratocaster and Allen would strap one on to to accompany him while Gary just played rhythym with a solo fill. After Ed left Steve Gaines played it on his Strat, then Hughie was the featured guitar and now Mark Matejka takes the lead on his Strat with Rickey Medlocke Stratin' it too. Gary's solo is slick, but the dual Strats give it that signature sound. Don't you just love lists?????
