Fire on the Mountain The Caldwell brothers were big Gamecock fans. A couple of the other band members were taterheads. Used to make for some interesting stage banter at instate concerts.

You can thank Toy and Tommy Caldwell for influencing my decision to give SCAR fans a pass with some of their dumb arse comments, God Bless the Caldwell boys and their families, RIP.

They change-but as of today:

Allman Brothers-Blue Sky

Lynyrd Skynyrd-All this Mississippi kid can do is write about it, but I'm always on they hunt for that smell of the next ballad of Curtis Loew. Their swamp music is like the needle and the spoon to me. This thread was posted yesterday, but Tuesday's gone, and I never dreamed that this simple man, who know's a little, would have to pick one whiskey rock-a-roller before taking three steps towards coming home to sweet home Alabama for Thanksgiving. Asking for one is like locking this free bird up in those four walls of Raiford or putting me to work for MCA. You might as well have asked on this board, "What's your name?" Don't ask me no questions like this, because I ain't the one to give just one answer. Are they one of the best southern rock bands ever? You got that right.

Answer-EVERY SINGLE DAMN ONE OF THEM

Charlie Daniels-Trudy

Hank Williams, Jr.-New South (On his best album, and from his best streak of albums-One Night Stands, The New South, Family Tradition, Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound & Habits Old and New)

Marshall Tucker-Can't You See

quote:

---

Allman Bros- Fillmore East.... You Don't Love Me Skynryd- One More From the Road.... T For Texas CDB -Fire on the Mountain.....No Place Left to Go Hank Jr- Family Tradition........Family Tradition Marshall Tucker- Where We All Belong....Every Day I Have the Blues and In My Own Way.

Ya know the trouble trying to make a list of favorite songs by these bands is the place and time you're listening to the song. My list is based more on a party vibe where you want a jam thing going. If I was picking based on pure song writing completely different.

Allman Bros.........it's Not My Cross to Bear
Skynyrd..... One More Time, Am I Losin, Made in the Shade (gotta luv me some Skynyrd)
CDB....Cumberland Mountain #9, Sweetwater Tx, It's My life> (played that at a good friends funeral)
Hank Jr......, The man has made so many damn records it would take a month of going back and listening to pick my favorites, the true originator of Outlaw Country with no disrespect to Mr Coe, Jennings, Nelson, etc.

ABB - One Way Out
LS - Call Me the Breeze
Jr - The Ballad of Hank Williams
CD - Still in Saigon

How about other southern rock bands:

Molly Hatchet (original lineup)- Boogie No More
Molly Hatchet (current lineup) - The Journey or Silent Reign of Heroes

Blackfoot - Highway Song

The Outlaws - Hurray Sundown or Holiday or Green Grass and High Tides

Blue Sky
Mississippi Kid
Legend of Woolly Swamp/Every Time I See Him
Dinosaur

George Morgan
"Hello Darlin"


Drinking Shiner, looking at the lake, and listening to George sing this right now.

Got a lot to be thankful for

because they do what the bands you selected do...but better.

Actually they don't do what the bands I selected do. Not even close. Again, I like The Band, but they aren't Southern and their music doesn't sound like any of those bands

Train, Train - Blackfoot
Highway Song - Blackfoot
Whiskey Man - Molly Hatchet
Green Grass/High Tides - Outlaws
Ghost Riders in the Sky - Outlaws
