I shall definitely be checking out the numbers you mention - and what I've heard really strikes me as good 'driving music' too - evocative of a long empty dusty highways stretching out ahead, all heat hazes and endless horizons (although over here is more likely to be sitting in traffic on a fumey overcrowded motorway! Still, we do have a few nice quiet roads here in the rural bits!) <br />My own general impressions of the South had mostly been formed (with a pinch of salt) from films and TV - a mish-mash of Deliverance, archive newsreel, My Name Is Earl, Easy Rider, Dukes of Hazzard, and a few other music documentaries (about people like Buddy Holly etc), a strange mixture, fascinating but not always complimentary... But music always crosses/transcends so many boundaries and I appreciated so much more about things after watching this documentary. I am also really appreciating the insights from 'knowing' (blog-wise!) a Real Southerner, and all the interesting things you cover over there on FC.

Outside of Dixie, the British, especially her historians, are the most careful with it.<br /><br />I think the latter point...remaining unapologetically Southern, is the real story here. In light of the context...the South had been taking a beating throughout the 60's. Bob Dylan and Neil Young spring to mind. Even Charlie Daniels (who originally has to be seen as part of the scene...have you ever heard Trudy?)...took a gentle and hilarious swipe..Lonesome Traveller (Last thing I wanted was to get in a fight/in Jackson Mississippi on a Saturday night). <br />From the begining, rocknroll was proud to be Southron...by the late 60's that was unacceptable. These people were making a stand...while returning rocknroll to it's origins (1:20 into Call Me the Breeze...as pure a Chuck Berry moment as there's been since). <br /><br />That brings me to a point that always gets right up my nose. The very notion of Southern Rock. The acts embraced it and used it to their advantage and the term still has currency but, it's an insane notion...it's like saying Black Hip Hop. Rock n Roll music IS Southern Music.<br /><br />I'm the only that seems to be bothered though. :)<br /><br />Interviewer to Duane Allman..."What are you doing to promote peace."<br /><br />Allman..."I eat a peach for peice...the two legged Georgia kind."e.f. bartlamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05940814285264472785noreply@blogger.com
