Various - Southern Rock Uprising

Jul 8 2008 By Paul Cole

(Classic Rock)

THE success of Kid Rock’s All Summer Long, which samples Lynyrd Skynyrd, has reignited interest in the confederate cause and this compilation, free with the Summer edition of Classic Rock magazine, finds old-stagers Molly Hatchet and Black Oak Arkansas rubbing shoulders with young guns such as Black Stone Cherry, whose Hell And High Water teeters on the edge of heavy rock, and Willie Stradlin’s Living For The Weekend, which injects Bon Jovi pop. Best is Nashville Pussy’s manic southern boogie take on Ike and Tina’s Nutbush City Limits.
