Delta Swamp Rock – Sounds From The South: At The Crossroads Of Rock, Country And Soul
Description
In the early 1970s, a new type of music emerged from the southern states of Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi and Florida. Southern rock, created by young American blue-collar workers, blended rock, soul, country, and blues to present a new vision of the South - a post-civil rights Southern identity that celebrated the region's natural landscapes and way of life. This album traces the rise and fall of Southern rock, from its funky swamp roots in Southern soul to its phenomenal success in the first half of the 1970s, its influence on Nashville's "outlaw" country, and back to the advent of rock and roll in the 1950s - the first encounter of Black and white American music at the crossroads.
