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.
