No, I'm washed playing Southern Rock equally we know information technology, with the exception of the odd Allman Brothers melody here and there, and that's fine with me. The Allmans were the best of the bunch and always were. I've had my fill up of the whole Southern Rock genre otherwise, and thankfully don't have to deal with it anymore. The sometime stuff is simply played out and tired at this indicate.In my band, we played "Melissa" by the Brothers, and I enjoyed copping Dickey's lead parts, but was our token Southern Rock tune.
I hear you lot. I grew upwards with it. I covered over twenty Lynyrd tunes and did Hatchet, Outlaws, Tucker, ARS, CDB, Female parent's Finest, ABB, Beaverteeth, Rossington Collins Band, Moisture Willie, .38 Special, Stillwater, Nantucket, Blackfoot, et al. Just like a million other guys of an age effectually here.
As with any genre or motility, people will argue about definition, for whatever and to whomever that might exist worth. It's truthful that Gregg Allman hated the term "Southern Rock".
I believe that people who did not grow upwards in the south during the time that this music was created have their own definition of the label, which is largely almost a particular sound. Those of us who grew upwards with the music tended to lump information technology all together, and it was a more than sonically various stew to us.

Does evidence how perceptions depend upon the person. I had this argument with somebody about the confederate flag. Guy says it means slavery. I said information technology may mean slavery to you, simply I got to high school in 1972, and that flag means Southern Stone to me. Yous saw them at every concert and the bands often had it around here and there.Nil means the same thing to everybody.
What a weird coincidence.
Nope.
Thank you!
Isn't it "old blood brother Winter'?
"Dripping Wet" referred to a alive album past Wet Willie and more mostly, to the band, itself. The second half of the line makes information technology articulate.

Anyone that thinks the majority of folks that like the song are pro-slavery is sadly mistaken. Having grown up in the late 70s in the south, I can say the slavery angle never occurred to my friends or me, and didn't in mod times until others told us what they thought our intents were. We never thought that far into information technology; nosotros just liked the song.

I don't want this to devolve into political or racial things, and if it does, mods delight delete (or I will myself).The Charlie Daniels song.
While I could see this as a staple for a Southern Rock (or even Country) Band, in this contemporary climate, what with political definiteness and "rubber-space" pervasiveness, even though in that location are always going to exist those that are all-too-easily offended, I feel like doing this vocal is in poor gustation.
It'due south near like doing a protest vocal for a group of patriotic veterans.
The band I play in has plenty of songs. Information technology's not like nosotros "demand" to play it. We play all styles and take plenty of "southern stone" and "country rock" songs.
It shows upwards in every set list I get, though nosotros've really rarely played it (usually it's at the end and nosotros don't get to information technology) - I think nosotros've done it one time or twice.
Information technology'southward a nice upwards tempo dancy tune, so that's expert.
But given that we have so many other options, I just feel like it'southward not the best song to play.
Poll'd
So what you're saying is..." I hate PC !!!!! (except when I don't ")
Never heard of the tune. What exactly is the 'south gonna do over again' that could be controversial ??

What a weird coincidence.Nope.
Cheers!
Nope back at you. The line in the song is
"The train to Grinder'due south Switch is runnin' right on time", a reference to a railroad switch in Tennessee that was also the fictional hometown of Minnie Pearl.

The only offensive bit is lumping the Allman Brothers Ring in with the whole Southern Rock thang. That just own't right....
The term Southern Rock was a marketing term for Capricorn Records and other artists who came after the ABB and assimilated some of the characteristics.
The melody in question has a name dropping boosterism theme. Not i of the more creative type of songs IMO. Land is loaded with information technology, Rock and Roll Sky another case.
Grinderswitch reference is to the band which included Joe Dan Trivial, an ABB roadie in information technology along with Capricorn producer Paul Hornsby. Brother Willie getting soaking wet is Mobile'due south Wet Willie, another Capricorn band although they were cut from more than of an RnB textile. I know Rick Hirsh (Wet Willie guitarist) a petty and he is a dandy guy, was in Joan Armatrading'southward band, and however produces swell records at his H2O Stufios - not affiliated, and still plays regularly locally and the occasional WW gig.
As a Southerner more influenced by Duane Allman, Martin Luther King, and Jimmy Carter I am a scrap queasy virtually merely what the South is going to "do again". I lived in Jim Crow civilization. Frankly it is not too far beneath the surface and not merely in this region these days.
There is a good bit of progressive thought in the south but it gets lost in the noise and stereotype.

Adept writing and presenting a positive modern spin.
Words have power and represent idea.
Sorry.

On the aforementioned topic, the vocal "Walk On The Wild Side" was recently considered offensive at a academy campus in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. The student association played it during an event and there was a complaint regarding it being offensive towards transgendered communities.
While I can see the point in a literal sense, I don't recollect those who were offended had a sense of the song'southward historical/cultural context (or Lou Reed).
My band hasn't stopped playing it.

@stevel I'll be cashing in a tangent flake hither.I hear you. I grew up with information technology. I covered over xx Lynyrd tunes and did Hatchet, Outlaws, Tucker, ARS, CDB, Mother'south Finest, ABB, Beaverteeth, Rossington Collins Band, Wet Willie, .38 Special, Stillwater, Nantucket, Blackfoot, et al. Only like a million other guys of an age around here.
As with whatever genre or motion, people will argue about definition, for whatsoever and to whomever that might be worth. Information technology's truthful that Gregg Allman hated the term "Southern Rock".
I believe that people who did non grow upwardly in the south during the time that this music was created have their own definition of the label, which is largely near a item sound. Those of united states of america who grew upward with the music tended to lump it all together, and it was a more sonically diverse stew to united states of america.

You're dead right, and obviously, there were other Southern rock bands that never actually hit it big. I always liked Wet Willie, and yet do, merely never played any of their music. I liked Sea Level too and was friendly with Chuck Leavell. Personally, my favorite of all of them was Grinderswitch. I was friendly with all those guys, but Dru Lombar and I became friends and kept in affect over the years. Dru was a killer thespian. He died years ago. After G'switch broke upward, he had a band in Jacksonville chosen Dr. Hector & the Groove Injectors, more of a funk project. Grinderswitch was right on the verge of breaking large nationally when disco music became the rage and it helped put them under. Their Redwing album would accept broken them.
Capricorn Records created that whole Southern Rock marketing campaign, perhaps to their detriment.

Personally, my favorite of all of them was Grinderswitch.
A few guys that I spent years performing with out of Madison came out of Iowa City and at times would make references to the hot bed of Hammond players from out that that style and Stephan Miller was often cited.

I don't want this to devolve into political or racial things, and if it does, mods please delete (or I will myself).
Then why would you lot start a thread with such a desperately flawed premise? Have yous e'er taken the time to read and assimilate the lyrics and their meaning? Another TGP reading comprehension neglect, I'm afraid.
Aye, YOU should delete this thread because it has no intrinsic value whatsoever.
Lyrics re-posted for posterity'south sake:
"The South's Gonna Do It (Again)"
Well, the train to Grinder's Switch is runnin' right on time
And them Tucker Boys are cookin' down in Caroline
People down in Florida can't exist nonetheless
When ol' Lynyrd Skynyrd'southward pickin' downwards in Jacksonville
People down in Georgia come from near and far
To hear Richard Betts pickin' on that red guitar
[Chorus:]
Then gather 'round, gather 'round chillun'
Become downwardly, well just go downward chillun'
Become loud, well y'all can be loud and be proud
Well you can be proud, hear now
Exist proud you're a rebel
'Cause the South's gonna do it again and again
Elvin Bishop sittin' on a bale of hay
He ain't good lookin', just he sure can play
And there's ZZ Top and you lot can't forget
That old brother Willie's gettin' soakin' wet
And all the proficient people down in Tennessee
Are diggin' Barefoot Jerry and C.D.B
[Chorus]
And then gather 'circular, gather 'round chillun'
Get downward, well just get downwards chillun'
Get loud, well you tin be loud and exist proud
Well yous tin can exist proud, hear now
Be proud you're a insubordinate
'Cause the South's gonna do information technology over again and again

The song talks most Southern pride and discusses how the Southward is "gonna do it once more".
The first line in the song refers to Grinder'southward Switch, Tennessee, the fictional hometown of Grand Ole Opry star Minnie Pearl. The vocal also mentions Southern rock bands and musicians such as:
-The Marshall Tucker Ring
-Lynyrd Skynyrd
-Dickey Betts (guitarist with The Allman Brothers)
-Elvin Bishop
-ZZ Meridian
-Moisture Willie
-Barefoot Jerry
-Charlie Daniels Band
The song uses a clever play on words to promote Southern rock music. The notion that "the South shall rising again" was a familiar sentiment and rallying weep for disaffected Southern whites later on the American Civil War. The vocal co-opts that sentiment, merely uses the argument to gloat Southern rock acts gimmicky to the vocal itself. The "it" that the South is going to do again, it is unsaid, is that the South would produce further popular Southern rock bands.
Daniels in fact bristled at more nefarious interpretations of what the "it" was. When the Ku Klux Klan used the song as background music for radio commercials for a 1975 rally in Louisiana, Daniels told Billboard mag, "I'yard damn proud of the South, simply I sure as hell am non proud of the Ku Klux Klan. ... I wrote the song about the land I love and my brothers. It was non written to promote hate groups."
I don't require hearing information technology ever again, only the song is about bragging on the specific music of a item region.
