Southern Rock is a genre that is filled with some amazing artists. Coming from a childhood in California, the closest thing we got was the Eagles and that's Southern California rock, not Southern. But discovering real Southern Rock was eye opening. It was so good. And then later moving to the South I realized that the stereotypes were not true (and completely true in another way). Anyway, I love Southern Rock. I used all the stereotypes when I made these compilation playlist picks, but that's for me to remember where I came from, not what they have come to mean. So too bad, I incorporate the Confederate flag in the cover. I use hillbilly phrase for the name (not even typical Southern, shame on me). What ever. I stereotyped you based on my own prejudices from years ago. Get over it. Now if you don't like it, I just say, Bless Your Heart. Just enjoy the music.

I have all but a couple tracks, and one I haven't heard before. I was like, "What? Where have I been?" The track is .38 Special's "Robin Hood." I haven't listened to their pre-Wild Eyed Southern Boys material in years, but I don't recall that tune. And I like comps that commence with an instrumental.
ReplyDeleteBig thumbs up for Moby Grape's "Omaha." Great stuff once again!
I saw them live during that tour and I loved that song. Made me want to listen to 38 special over and over again. Been a fan since
DeleteSkip Spence was living on the streets in San Jose where I was on the radio and sometimes he'd just drop in. A buddy of mine, a guitarist, used to play with him in Santa Cruz. By this time he was pretty much a mess.
