    When most people think of Southern music they think of country or gospel, which is understandable. When I asked my father what he thought of he said Rock n' Roll. At first it was a bit of a surprise until he started naming off great southern bands such as Lynard Skynard and Creadance Clearwater Revival. He had raised a good point and I began to understand. Even today more bands are from the south such as REM who orginated in Athens, Georgia and even closer to home the band Cake was out of Nashville. So before you automaticly refer to southern music as country give rock and roll a chance.
