Many of the architects of rock and roll in the 1950s including
Elvis Presley Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard were Southerners
who were rooted in the distinctive regional traditions of country
blues and R&B. As the impact of the British Invasion and the
psychedelic era faded at the end of the following decade such
performers as Bob Dylan and the Band returned to the simplicity of
American roots music paving the way for Southern groups to reclaim
their region's rock-and-roll heritage. Embracing both Southern
musical traditions and a long-haired countercultural aesthetic such
artists as the Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd forged a new
musical community that Charlie Daniels called a genre of people
more than a genre of music. THFocusing primarily on the music's
golden age of the 1970s ESouthboundE profiles the musicians
producers record labels and movers and shakers that defined
Southern rock including the Allmans Skynyrd the Marshall Tucker
Band Wet Willie the Charlie Daniels Band Elvin Bishop the Outlaws
the Atlanta Rhythm Section .38 Special ZZ Top and many
others.THFrom the rise and fall of the mighty Capricorn Records to
the music's role in helping Jimmy Carter win the White House and to
its continuing legacy and influence this is the story of Southern
rock.
