Yes, I know. That's why I'm confused.
Nevermind though.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Blue on Black is one of my all time favorites.

Oh, and Chris Thomas King, even though he's more of a Blues artist.
And I think of Johnny Cash as a southern rock type, even though he's more mainstream country.

So far, the only band listed that I have a problem with are the Eagles. Just don't like them. By nature, I must like the Allman Brothers!
My theory on Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young (and I love them, esp the first three) is that everybody likes them because no matter how badly you sing, you'll be in harmony with one of them! I'd have a very hard time picking my favorite of their songs, but Carry On, Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, and Wooden Ships are definitely in the top five.
More classic than southern: the Grassroots. We had a chapter sister who absolutely loved them (her first concert), and would sing their entire greatest hits album when, well, swamped.
How about:
Otis Redding
Willie Nelson
Govt Mule

Love all of those, but my favorite is Helplessly Hoping.

Are we forgetting Charlie Daniels, or did I just miss him?

ABB
I didn't live in Macon, GA for 10 years without developing an even deeper appreciation for the Allman Brothers Band. I still have my 45 of "Ramblin' Man" from 1975. No pilgrimage to Macon is complete without eating at the H&H (eat Southern fried goodness cooked by the woman who toured with the ABB) and paying homage to Duane and B.O. at Rose Hill Cemetery. And yes, I was there at the concert in the mid 1980s when they started their comeback and Gregg forgot the words to "Whippin' Post." I've seen them in concert more than any other recording artist. Ahhh the memories.
