Southern Rock music
Southern Rock is a genre of music that blends rock and roll with elements of country, blues, and gospel, rooted in the American South. Characterized by gritty guitar riffs, soulful vocals, and a focus on themes like life, pride, and resilience, it often features harmonized vocals and a tight, energetic band sound. Emerging in the late 1960s and 1970s, bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers Band popularized this style, which celebrates Southern culture and storytelling through powerful, approachable music.
