Southern Rock [View all]

Look, I'm from California (obviously)

But Southern Rock has always had a place in my heart

"I Ain't the One" has some amazing studio effects for the time, and the guitar is just pure bliss

But other than Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Bros, The Outlaws, Marshall Tucker, Moses Guest, Mountain -- what have you got?

And don't say "Kid Rock" because he's just a talentless GOP hack
