The enduring achievement and legacy of a rock movementThe Allman
Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd helped usher in a new kind of
southern music from Jacksonville, Florida. Together, they and
fellow bands like Blackfoot, 38 Special, and Molly Hatchet would
reset the course of seventies rock. Yet Jacksonville seemed an
unlikely hotbed for a new musical movement. Michael FitzGerald
blends eyewitness detail with in-depth history to tell the story of
how the River City bred this generation of legendary musicians. As
he profiles essential bands alongside forerunners like Gram Parsons
and Cowboy, FitzGerald reveals how the powerful local AM radio
station worked with newspapers and television stations to nurture
talent. Media attention in turn created a public hungry for live
performances by area bands. What became the southern rock elite
welded relentless determination to a ferocious work ethic, honing
their gifts on a testing ground that brooked no weakness and took
no prisoners. FitzGerald looks at the music as the diverse
soundtrack to a neo-southern lifestyle that reconciled different
segments of society in Jacksonville, and across the nation, in the
late sixties and early seventies. A vivid journey into a crucible
of American music, Jacksonville and the Roots of Southern Rock
shines a light on the artists and songs that powered a phenomenon.
