Southern rock was white, an odd 1970s amalgam of classic Delta blues, hard-edged country music, early Southern rock and roll, and 1960s psychedelia. Longhaired country boys (Charlie Daniel's phrase) displayed attitudes and musical licks of the counterculture with a distinctively down-home spin, celebrating Southern rural life, Southern women, and Southern places. Duane Allman, session guitarist for many famous soul singers in the 1960s, brought his blues-style "slide" guitar to the Allman Brothers Band, and the Charlie Daniels Band celebrated the movement in its song "The South's Gonna Do It Again." Other important groups were the Marshall Tucker Band, Wet Willie, and Lynard Skynard, whose "Free Bird: has been called the redneck national anthem. The movement peaked about the time Georgian Jimmy Carter, who claimed to be a fan, won the presidency. Our selection from the Charlie Daniels Band's "Grapes of Wrath" is available on Epic Records' Midnight Wind. (AU Format) (Real Audio Format)
