Rhino Flashback's Best of Southern Rock may seem diminutive (ten songs), but it successfully represents the genre that spawned the term boogie rock. There's no "Sweet Home Alabama" or "Ramblin' Man" here; instead the compilers have chosen to include works from some of the '70s lesser known acts like Black Oak Arkansas, Molly Hatchet, Blackfoot and Confederate Railroad, resulting in one of the more versatile collections of hard rock, blues and country rock. ~ James Christopher Monger To call this compilation Best of Southern Rock is a bit of a misnomer, because it really isn't. The performances selected here aren't exactly the highest of quality, to say nothing of the heinous omission of the Allman Brothers from this elite group of Southern rockers. Recorded live over a five-year span from 1996-2001, it features some of the most respected and iconic figures of Southern rock performing some of their greatest songs. Appropriately starting off with Lynyrd Skynyrd's classic "Sweet Home Alabama," the compilation wastes no time in getting down to business, taking cuts from .38 Special, Van Zant, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, and the always hard rockin' gurus Molly Hatchet. While the inclusion of some songs over others may leave die-hard fans scratching their heads and inquiring where the big hits are, this economically sensible compilation is a nice showcase of the genre's finest bands, and serves as a nice stepping stone into a style of rock sorely undervalued in the rock & roll catalog. ~ Rob Theakston Rhino Flashback's Best of Southern Rock may seem diminutive (ten songs), but it successfully represents the genre that spawned the term boogie rock.
