This is a piece from the "Just Whistling Dixie" episode that ended up on the cutting room floor. In it, I discuss my confusion about the terms Country Rock and Southern Rock. I was pretty bummed about leaving out one of my favorite Southern Rock Bands, "The Marshall Tucker Band". You know a Classic Rock band named after a guy named Marshall Tucker is going to play some mean Southern Rock. I also wanted to slip in some music by my favorite Bluegrass/Classic Rock enthusiasts, "Hayseed Dixie".

enjoy y'all!

That's right. Classic Rock Liberation has finally gone country! Well, Country Rock anyway. This episode of CRL hits the highlights of southern flavored Classic Rock. I play my fav's of the genre and discuss what makes this music so cool (besides the bolo ties of course).

*Artist include Lynyrd Skynyrd, Poco, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and The New Riders of the Purple Sage.

*Features include "Top 5", and "New Music That Doesn't Suck".

On this episode of the Liberation I focus my energy on doing good things for those artists and groups who began as the cream of the crop and ended up as luke-warm broth. Join me as I pay tribute and educate with several cautionary tales of Classic Rock.

*Artist include Humble Pie, Fleetwood Mac, and The Jeff Beck Group.

*Features include "Holy Crap That's an Awesome Jam!".

This is a bonus rant. It's what happens when I just can't seem to shut up about a certain subject. In this case: The Blues. I Thought of something very important that I forgot to tell you which has very practical day-to-day rock music appreciation applications.

My apologies to Lynyrd Skynyrd--you guys know I'd never do anything to hurt you.

As promised this second episode finishes what I started on the last show. I continue my discussion of that beautiful marriage of musical stylings known as Blues-Rock. More examples of this particular genre are given as well as some of my opinions concerning where this type of music stands today.

*Artist include The Mighty Zep, Taj Mahal, and Mr. Jimi Hendrix (as well as his Experience).

*Features include "New Music That Doesn't Suck".

I decided to start off the revolution right. My first episode delves deep into the Blues and what makes it such an integral ingredient in the recipe of great classic rock.

*Artist include Eric Burden and War, The Groundhogs, and Hot Tuna.

*Features include "Top Five..." and "Holy Crap! That's an Awesome Jam".

Three Definitive Albums: "Allman Bros." by The Allman Brothers Band, "Led Zeppelin" by Led Zeppelin, and "...with Eric Clapton" by John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers.
