Some of my favorite music has come from the south, or been by people who did Rock with a Southern twist.
Starting off with a well known piece and a different group than I am used to hearing.
I remember reading an article in Time magazine in 1975 talking about Linda Rondstadt being the queen of Hillbilly Rock and Rock and Roll. Here is one of her best known pieces.
Last up a favorite Southern Rock band of mine from the 1980s' ZZ Top.
Watch this video and see if you notice a message beyond the obvious. It is very interesting if you catch it. ZZ-Top did the same thing with Sharp Dressed Man as well.
So there you have it, three of my favorite Southern Rock singers, groups and songs.
Until next time.

YOu picked some very cool ones today honey. Lynrd is popular today but your other two choices are awesome!
ReplyDeleteZZ-TOP always came to the rescue of a person being bullied whether it be the woman in Legs or the man In Sharp Dressed Man. ZZ and his ladies would transform and empower the person,
