The southern rockers!

Well lately I've been on a huge southern rock revival of sorts. Having just got my Preacher Stone http://www.myspace.com/preacherstonerocks as well as a few others these bands are the style of southern rock I love.

My copy of Preacher Stone just came yesterday. Haven't had a chance to spin it yet.

I'll check these bands out later. I'm a big southern rock fan.

This Preacher Stone has one of the funniest titles I've seen in a while.

"Old Fashioned Ass Whoopin' Sumbitch"

Swampdawamp has a great Allman's vibe. I just put Preacher Stone on the list to get.
You should check out Hogjaw.

Grinderswitch, Wet Willie and Cowboy were also great bands. Maybe not as hard as some of those Florida bands of the late 70;s but still good just the same. Never heard of any of the bands mentioned, gonna go hit up YooHooo Tube and put some ears on it. Thanks !

I liked the harder stuff, Blackfoot, Hatchet. I always mention the "second tier" classic southern rockers like Point Blank, Hydra, Ultra, and now Doc Holliday whom I just re-discovered. A lot of the recent bands are good too. Southern rock is thought of as a 70's thing, but I think there is more of it coming out now than there was then!

That's where I'm at with the genre as well. While I like some Allman Brothers, overall they're too bluesy for me. And Marshall Tucker Band and Charlie Daniels have some songs I like but they're too country most of the time.

I'm diggin' this Preacher Stone CD. There are a few "Allman-esque" tracks that don't float my boat but overall I like it. The newest Blackberry Smoke veers too much to nu-country on a few songs but I still really dig it as well (I actually think that overall Blackberry Smoke's songwriting is more memorable than Preacher Stone).

toho do you remember Mama's Pride from St. Louis? Their first album was somewhere between Allmans and heavy. Some nice guitar on there anyway.

I've heard of them but I think they pre-dated my move to STL. Are they still around?

I doubt it. They were a late 70's Allman influenced fairly hard rock band. I think Wounded Bird or one of those outfits re-released their stuff.

Toho I know you would like Rebel Pride!

"It Is What It Is" is killer!
