Drive by Truckers is a good call since they're reviving that whole thang and got a lot of press with their last concept album.

'Out Of Gas'
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine
I heard a busker on the Union Square N/R subway platform doing a solo (just drums & vocals, no lie) "Freebird". Didn't hold a candle performancewise to ASH in "A New Man", but conceptually it was hard to beat. It was new and it was Southern Rock (that's a genre upper case), but it's not really "new Southern rock" nor "new Southern Rock." But I enjoyed it a whole lot & I hope you enjoyed my little anecdote even if it wasn't much help. Now back to our regularly scheduled program.
Edit: Giles sang "Freebird" in "The Yoko Factor" not "A New Man". And "Behind Blue Eyes" in "Where The Wild Things Are". No singing in "A New Man". Oh well, I liked it anyway. Go, Jane! Go, ASH! Yay, Ethan Rayne!

Up with the sun
Isn't My Morning Jacket supposed to be southern?
Edit: Also, could someone explain the Walkmen to me? I got their CD because it got such great reviews, but the noise has yet to coalesce into appealing songs after several listens, and I can't hear what makes everyone else say their singer sounds like Bono.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hec! I went to a book reading with George Pelecanos tonight, and I name-dropped you, and told him I'd sent you a book of his, because I knew you'd dig the way he used music. And I am currently listening to the soundtrack CD for his latest book -- how cool is that?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Thanks Hec & Hayden (y'all should have a show called that).
I had DBT, but couldn't think of anyone else off the top of my head. I was arguing against someone who wants to hold up Kid Rock as the posterby for southern rock
While I can enjoy him at times (He reminds me of Jon's dead boss and some good bar times), I don't thinks he's the second coming of Skynyrd.

I would think that KR's strong roots in hip hop would put him out of the running for that title. Not that he doesn't have serious southern rock influences. But, to me, he's much more AC/DC meets Run DMC meets Skynyrd.

Super fuckin' cool! What's on his soundtrack CD?

Isn't My Morning Jacket supposed to be southern?
I was trying to remember their name earlier! Yeah, I would say so. Kind of a cross between Skynyrd and the Flaming Lips.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
I was gonna mention My Morning Jacket! *pouts*
Not so new, but Slobberbone has that bastard-son-of-Skynyrd thing going on.
Also, there was a female folkie-ish busker at Canal Street tonight doing a terrible cover of Nirvana's "Come As You Are." I shuddered.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Can somebody give me a quick couple of southern rock bands, newish if that's ok?
Southern Culture On the Skids? I dunno . . . .
Well, there's always the Rainmakers, but I think everyone here is tired of hearing me talk about them by now.
Will you still love the atmosphere when the staff is halved?
Especially if your best friends at work are the ones to go?
