Southern Rock: Country Style

Product Description:
Southern rock and its Dixie-flavored boogie first exploded with the emergence of The Allman Brothers Band in the late ’60s, and later with such icons as Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Marshall Tucker Band, .38 Special, and more. Its crowd-pleasing, soul-stirring sound brought rock back to its roots—the American South, and, at ground zero, the magical fusion of country and R&B at Memphis’ Sun Studios. Today it encompasses jam bands, country mavericks, singer songwriters, and rockers alike. This new compilation celebrates the classic era of Southern rock with new interpretations by contemporary performers who embody—and relish—its rebel spirit.

CD grows on you.......2004-10-08

I initially bought this CD, although a reviewer on CMT.com said it wasn't a great album, but was a good time. Some of the songs sound off at first hearing, simply because of a different voice singing them. However, this album really grows on you. The producer used the same back-up band on all cuts but three, so there is a cohesiveness to the sound. I've been blasting it non-stop in the car since I received it. I definately recommend.

not a complete review, just on Hank Jr's contribution.......2004-09-27

This is the second time Mr Williams has had the opportunity to contribute to a tribute album. For the second time, someone has chosen to submit his cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Tuesday's Gone".
He first recorded it for his "Wild Streak" album, then it was used for the Lynyrd Skynyrd country tribute album "Skynyrd Frynds". I can remember for a while every new Hank Jr album had a Skynyrd cover tune. There's still some good Skynyrd songs he hasn't done yet. I'm just puzzled someone has twice chosen to use a previously recorded song. Maybe he could do "Things Goin On", or "Mississippi Kid" (he can relate to 'goin to Alabama, go my pistol out by my side').

Tying the bonds between two musical brothers..........2004-09-22

Southern rock and country music. Charlie Daniels. Lynyrd Skynyrd. Allman Brothers. Marshall Tucker. Names that are familiar to fans of both genres of music--because they are essentially the same: great, well-written, well-delivered songs of the working man, his life, his family, and everything he stands for.

On SOUTHERN ROCK COUNTRY STYLE, produced by COMMON THREAD: THE SONGS OF THE EAGLES producer Ralph Sall, we have great country singers--from Charlie Daniels to James Otto--singing songs that they've been covering for years. Listen as Tracy Byrd rips into "If You Wanna Get to Heaven;" be mesmerized as Billy Currington revives "Keep Your Hands to Yourself." Brian McComas takes the Pure Prairie League classic "Amie" and makes it his own; Charlie Daniels brings "Sweet Home Alabama" to a new level; Mark Chesnutt puts his honky-tonk stamp on "Heard It In a Love Song;" and Anita Cochran, with the help of Jason Sellers, belts out "Can't You See."

Not to say that these artists do better than the original artists. But...well, it's different, and it's GOOD, so why not say it's GREAT? The fact is, whether you're a fan of country or rock, you're gonna love this CD (heck, if you've seen some of these people live, you've probably already heard these). From familiar country stars to newcomers, from Allman Brothers classics to a song by the Black Crowes--SOUTHERN ROCK COUNTRY STYLE is a compelling, rockin' good CD filled with great music by great artists.
