Southern Rock

Guest

Let's argue whether or not ZZ Top is included in this subgenre. I say they can, although they derive alot more from the blues than most southern rock bands, IMO.

I'd say early Top could be included. The more pop stuff on albums like Eliminator...not as much.

If early ZZ Top counts (and they do to me); Then there are a several other Tejas bands that make it as well, a whole buncho. I love Tejas bands!

ZZTOP could be included, "Rio Grande Mud" " First Album" has a strong southern blues feel to them.

BTW, I just discovered there are two new Outlaws tracks on their site from an album completed before Hughie Thomasson died last year. These sound great! Hopefully this album sees the light of day eventually.
