Counting Down Southern Rock

April 1, 2016
Music-journalist Banister takes a look at Southern rock, digging into historical information to explain why he thinks these 100 songs are the best representation of the genre. Each song entry contains the original release information and several paragraphs of anecdotes and insight about not only the music, but also pop-culture details and trivia surrounding each song. Featured artists include the Allman Brothers Band, the Black Crowes, the Kentucky Headhunters, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and ZZ Top. Music fans will enjoy this volume (and the others in this series), which should find a home in most circulating collections.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
