My Long Hair Just Can't Cover Up My Red Neck

It's been a while, brothers. I come back to you from the Wilderness of North America with a humble offering from the Southland.

David Allan Coe. What can I say? The country man that was so metal. Known for his x-rated albums and his sometimes rank subject matter, David Allan Coe is an essential addition to the collection of any fan of outlaw country, southern rock, even some of the bluesier varieties of sludge metal. DAC is one bad mother fucker, as you can tell from such songs are Long Haired Redneck, Son of the South, and Willie, Waylon, and Me.

Musically, David has a very strong voice that he can tune to a lot of different sounds. From the mournful You Never Even Called Me By My Name to the gospel Would You Lay With Me (In a Field of Stone).

Greatest Hits.


Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.
And I went to pick her up in the rain.
But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got runned over by a damned old train.

Southern Isolation

Okay, here is Southern Isolation's one and only album. Southern Isolation is a southern rock/folk band from Louisiana. The duo comprises Phil Anselmo and (then) wife Stephanie Opal. The band is made up of guitar and vocals, provided by Phil and Stephanie, respectively. Stephanie shows that she has a truly beautiful voice, singing lead in all the songs. Philip provides backing vocals on a couple of the tracks, and lead in the last song Southern Man I Am.

This album is executed beautifully. It's truly a shame that they only released the self titled. Just like with crust punk band Arson Anthem we're shown that Philip has mastery over the guitar as he does over singing. I honestly think all of you will get into this really easily.

Down

You can in no way understand the excitement I felt when I FINALLY found this album. Down’s first album NOLA, the long sought after album itself. I finally have it, my god. What I’ve missed!

A sad state of affairs...

I think it's sad that no one had any Jackyl to upload for me. So here you go... their debut.Jackyl - S/T

Think of it as a mix between glam and southern rock with 100% balls

Southern Flame

Alright, this is a fucking dope as shit band. I got their album Whiskey Metal a while back and couldn't help but think of Weedeater calling themselves Weed Metal. Haha. Well anyway, this album is fucking great, it's on my top list of albums definitely. It's got a hard rock, southern rock, metal fucking sound to it, songs like Dixie Venom, Covered In Sin, and Alcoholocaust should put band on the fucking map. Expect great things from these guys. These guys put on a great show, they've got splendid guitar work, precise and clean drumming, a present yet not overpowering bass, and Lemmy-esque vocals that tie it all together really nicely.

The Allman Brothers Band - A Decade of Hits 1969-1979

Inspired by the Lynyrd Skynyrd post I remembered my dad had this tucked away for years. Allman Brothers Band is essential southern rock.

Lynyrd Skynyrd

I humbly offer 2 Greatest Hits compilations of the Southern Rock gods Lynyrd Skynyrd the 10 track Encore Edition and the All Time Greatest Hits. These two albums contain some of the greatest southern rock songs of all time including Sweet Home Alabama, What’s Your Name?. Gimme Back My Bullets, and Gimme Three Steps. To truly appreciate certain genres you have to appreciate the genres they in turn pay homage to. This is directed at you Sludge fans, southern rock is a big inspiration in the southern sludge bands, and Lynyrd Skynyrd is at the forefront, particularly with Weedeater.

Charlie Daniels Band

Here is my copy of Charlie Daniels Band Greatest Hits. This is a great album that includes songs such as Devil Went Down To Georgia, and Long Haired Country Boy. Charlie Daniels is a really great musician, the album throws some traditional country and southern rock into the mix.

Essential Charlie Daniels Band

ZZ Top

Here are two albums by classic Blues-rock band ZZ Top. Here is the 1992 Greatest Hits and One Foot In The Blues. The Greatest Hits is a great album, all of their greatest hits throughout the years, some of my favorite songs are on this album like Sharp Dressed Man, that shit was the jam when I was little. It's a very good album, a lot of the classics like Legs, La Grange, and I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide. One Foot In The Blues is another compilation album, they made it to make a cohesive album of all of their songs that qualify as blues songs. A lot of great songs like A Fool For Your Stockings and She Loves My Automobile.

One Foot In The Blues

Ted Nugent

Here is Ted Nugent’s Great Gonzos! The Best of Ted Nugent. Those of you that know me well know that I’m a HUGE fan of Uncle Ted; he gives me a lot of inspiration, musically, and physically. I one day hope to be able to afford a bow hunt with this man. The Nuge is not only an amazing guitarist and songwriter, but his activism for second amendment rights, conservation, and hunters everywhere should tell you a little something about him: he knows what he loves, and fights for everyone’s right to enjoy it too. He’s an accomplished bow hunter, and gives a good name to hunters everywhere by teaching respect and responsibility towards the land.

I offer up his Great Gonzos! album, which is a collection of his greatest hits. It’s a damned shame, though; the songs Great White Buffalo and Fred Bear are not included in this collection. It does, however, have such classics as Cat Scratch Fever, Wango Tango, Paralyzed, and even a cover of famous blues song Baby Please Don’t Go. If you’re already a fan, this is a great addition, if you’ve never heard Uncle Ted before, you better get to it. It can be enjoyed by everyone, Conservatives and Liberals, vegans and carnivores, fat and skinny, tall and short, cat and dog, ant and anteater, its madness. If I’m going to encourage you to go out and buy any of the albums on this blog, I’m encouraging you to buy this one.

Hank Williams Jr.

I'm not sure how popular it'll be, but I am uping my three albums of Hank Williams Jr. the three volumes of greatest hits. Okay, so Hank Williams Jr. is a marvelous country singer and guitarist, who started out singing covers of his father's songs long after he'd died. Bocephus (as his father used to call him) soon found a different way of thinking, he became one of the first in a genre of "outlaw country", which was country singers that sang about the blues, but also sang about drinking, smoking, and womenfolk. None of this dead dog shit, that the genre is stereotyped for. You might recognize the name Hank Williams, as Hank Williams III is a prominent punk and metal drummer, drumming for crust punk act Arson Anthem. Hank Williams Jr. became known for his image of dark sun glasses, a full beard, and a hat, he wore this look to cover up scars all over his face due to a rock climbing accident, in which his brain was exposed to air for over 30 seconds, and his face had to be completely reconstructed. He survived and continued on doing what he was great at.

I ask you, please don't just write this off as shit because it's country, it's really good. And I know those of you that like the southern sound will enjoy this, if you like Lynrd Skynrd, Charlie Daniels, or bands like them, you'll like Hank.
