We Do Love Our Southern Rock

May 31, 2018

Southern rock is a sound that combines good old boy Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer, the 4th of July, and pickup trucks. Here are even more thoughts on the best southern classic rock bands of all time…

Although Lynyrd Skynyrd (Jacksonville, FL) is on their farewell tour, the band continues to rock to the end, which was announced earlier this year.

38 Special found their voice in the 70s and 80s, as did Wet Willie, Blackfoot, and the Atlanta Rhythm Section. You have to acknowledge Black Oak Arkansas and The Georgia Satellites for this list as well.
ZZ Top (Houston, TX) began in the late 60s, proving 3 dudes can generate an incredible wall of sound. The Allman Brothers (Macon, GA) is considered to be one of the top southern band of all time, generating more interest and record sales from the late 60s through the 70s.

Blackfoot hails from Jacksonville, FL, The Black Crowes from the Atlanta suburb of Marietta, GA, the contemporary Zack Brown Band does hail from Atlanta, and Tommy Shaw of Styx and Damn Yankees comes from Montgomery, AL.
