Greatest southern rock band of all time!

ABB.

It's hard to vote when the best Southern Rock band (Atlanta Rhythm Section) isn't even listed .

Great groove on this classic...

 

[OldRUSHfan]

"High On The Hog" by Black Oak Arkansas was my first 'Southern Rock' album because of the "Jim Dandy" song. Lynyrd Skynyrd "Second Helping" Was My next for "Sweet Home Alabama"...

[Mosher]

The Drive Bys easily.

 

Many great bands here, but it's just not a contest. Especially during the Isbell years.

Had to go with the Allman Brothers. Had the pleasure of seeing them over 25 times, including their final show at the Beacon in NY. The talent they had with Warren/Derek/Oteil bookended with Duane/Berry. Not much of a Dickey fan, but he wrote many of my favorite songs of all time. Plus he turned a blues/jazz/rock band into a country/rock band.

 

Shame I can't also vote for Gov't Mule and The Black Crowes. I've also seen Mule over 25 times and the Crowes about 20. The Crowes with Luther Dickinson is my cup of tea. Shame it only lasted about 4 years. Too bad Chris is such a douchebag.

The Crowes are touring in 2020.

 

Yep

Seems like a money grab to me. Of course I'm still going (will be at the Bristow show). I ordered the Steve Gorman book a couple weeks ago. Should be showing up any day.

Saweettt! That's must see for me. Hoping Marc Ford will be included. I saw The Magpie Salute at a small local venue. Good gig, but man such a small crowd. Obviously the brothers don't have the drawing power that they do together. $20 says they have separate buses and aren't around each other more than they have to be.

I thumbed through the book. Being such a fan of the Warpaint/Before The Frost era, I was curious with Steve thought about Luther Dickinson. There was only about 3 pages on that era. Nothing but good things to say about Luther and overall how great he thought the band was during that time. One thing I did learn (which I was always wondering about) was if Luther was kicked out of the band or if he quit. According to Steve, Luther left on his own and thus Jackie Greene was brought on board.

 

I really enjoyed the Magpie Salute show I saw. It was in a 1500 seat theater style show (without seats on the floor). Same place I saw the Crowes several times. My girlfriend (at the time) is a huge Chris Robinson fan so I had to go to many CRB shows with her. They were okay. Magpie Salute so much better. I'd check for Magpie Salute tour dates every couple weeks for the last 6 months. With CRB broken up and no Magpie Salute dates (and they just released an album), it seemed somewhat obvious that the Crowes were getting back together.

 

There are videos on youtube (and from the Howard Stern interview) from their recent show where you can see the new lineup (all new members). Heaven forbid Chris has someone in the band making something other than minimum wage. And you are correct in that there is no chance the brothers will be on the same tour bus.

 

I still don’t have the book yet, but getting to it. Looking forward to it, of course.

 

On the subject of the ‘reunion tour’, I just can’t think of it that way. Chris and Rich and their backing band of relative unknowns playing Black Crowes music...I’ve got my tickets, I’ll still go see it. I’ll love seeing Chris and Rich playing together again. It won’t be the mid 1990s, or even Brothers of a Feather, to be sure. But yeah. I’m there.

I vote Skynrd. ZZ Top and Allman Bros. are up there too. CCR is disqualified from my vote because they are from the Bay Area.
