Southern Rock
Southern rock is a subgenre of rock music and a genre of Americana. It developed in the Southern United States from rock and roll, country music, and blues and is focused generally on electric guitars and vocals. Author Scott B. Bomar speculates the term "southern rock" may have been coined in 1972 by Mo Slotin, writing for Atlanta's underground paper, ''The Great Speckled Bird'', in a review of an Allman Brothers Band concert. History 1950s and 1960s: origins Rock music's origins lie mostly in the music of the American South, and many stars from the first wave of 1950s rock and roll such as Bo Diddley, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, Fats Domino, and Jerry Lee Lewis hailed from the Deep South. However, the British Invasion and the rise of folk rock and psychedelic rock in the middle 1960s shifted the focus of new rock music away from the rural south and to large cities like Liverpool, London, Los Angeles, New York City, and San Francisco. In the 1960s, rock m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ramblin' Man (The Allman Brothers Band Song)
"Ramblin Man" is a song by American rock band The Allman Brothers Band, released in August 1973 as the lead single from the group's fourth studio album, '' Brothers and Sisters'' (1973). Written and sung by guitarist Dickey Betts, the song was inspired by a 1951 song of the same name by Hank Williams. It is considerably more inspired by country music than other Allman Brothers Band compositions, which made the group reluctant to record it. Guitarist Les Dudek provides guitar harmonies, and it was one of bassist Berry Oakley's last contributions to the band. The song became the Allman Brothers Band's first and only top 10 single, peaking at number two on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart and number 12 on the Easy Listening chart. Background "Ramblin Man" was first created during songwriting sessions for '' Eat a Peach''. An embryonic version, referring to a "ramblin' country man," can be heard on the bootleg ''The Gatlinburg Tapes'', featuring the band jamming on an off-day in Ap ...

The South's Gonna Do It
"The South's Gonna Do It (Again)", is a song written and performed by the Charlie Daniels Band and released on their 1974 album '' Fire on the Mountain''. Content The lyrics refer to several Southern rock bands and musicians: * Grinderswitch * The Marshall Tucker Band * Lynyrd Skynyrd * Dickey Betts (guitarist with The Allman Brothers) * Elvin Bishop * ZZ Top * Wet Willie * Barefoot Jerry * Charlie Daniels Band The first line in the song is also a play on Grinder's Switch, Tennessee, the fictional hometown of Grand Ole Opry star Minnie Pearl.

The song co-opts that sentiment, but uses the statement to celebrate Southern rock acts contemporary to the song itself. The "it" that the South is going to do again, it is implied, is to produce additional popular rock gro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
