Goin' South isn't actually as Southern as its title or marketing suggest; while most of the songs here are pretty compatible musically, only about half of them fall under strict definitions of Southern rock. That said, there really isn't much here that Southern rock fans won't enjoy -- most of it is informed by country and/or blues, and boogies just as hard as the true Southern rock cuts. All the big names are here (Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, .38 Special, the Marshall Tucker Band, the Charlie Daniels Band), and most bands are represented by their biggest hits and/or signature songs. So even if Goin' South isn't the definitive Southern rock collection it wants to be, it's still an excellent listen that could virtually serve as a classic rock radio play list. ~ Steve Huey Even during the teenpop/hip-hop/rap-metal reign of 2001, there were still enough diehard Southern rock fans to make this collection a hit. GOIN' SOUTH is a no-frills compilation of 17 of the biggest songs in the genre, mostly from popular 1970s artists. Though one might want to recheck the producers' geographical sense upon noting the inclusion of Californians the Doobie Brothers and Little Feat (not to mention the Band, who were four-fifths Canadian), the spirit of all the songs included here is very much in keeping with the theme. From the blues-rock licks of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" to the downhome-Stones feel of the Georgia Satellites' "Keep Your Hands to Yourself," GOIN' SOUTH unerringly conjures images of good ol' boys, country roads, and all the other iconography inherent in this uniquely American style of music.   Technical Info Release Date : 01/23/2001 Original Release Date : 2001 Catalog ID : 89033 Label : Razor & Tie Music Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00793018903325    Product Image
