Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 There are so many. Eric Burdon was mentioned. He is someone who I think is really under rated, big time. The Mark and Brian radio show used to have musicians on and get them to play a song or two. Ann Wilson sounded amazing, just like her recordings live in their studio. Tom Jones was another good one.

Even Dolly. I gotta admit that Ann Wilson is cute...maybe even gorgeous, and certainly has great stage presence...but the best? Nah. I can't buy it. Then again, that's why they make chocolate and vanilla ice cream.......and thirty something other flavors.

And after more than fifty years, SHE’S STILL GOING STRONG!! If you go on YouTube much, search for a channel called "the charismatic voice." It's an award winning professional opera singer and voice teacher who does reaction / analysis videos of different rock acts. She has done several videos featuring Heart, and if she's to be believed, yeah, Ann Wilson is pretty good. (understatement) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only giirls with a pixie cut would have similar length hair. No way their hair was longer then the average girl when they were on Ed Sullivan. Not even close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The country music industry wouldn’t have anything to do with them or The Marshall Tucker Band! The rock world accepted CDB and MTB ten times more than the country music scene. Wasn't rock (to rockers) and wasn't country (to the country crowd) so they, along with others, initiated, what became known as, the country-rock era. A bunch of bands followed their footsteps and most contributed a ton of great music. IMO, the beginning of the end of "country-rock" began with the death of Duanne Allman and Lynyrd Skynyrd's plane crash sealed it. At least that's the way I see it.

Blackwater 53393 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 The Charlie Daniels Band was formed after Duane Allman died. The only song that the Allman Brothers ever did that even faintly resembled country was “Ramblin’ Man”. The Allman Brothers Band was a Blues/Rock/Jazz band that set the standard for improvisational performance and was the model for many of the “Jam Bands” that followed What Skynyrd did wasn’t EVEN country until years later when the country industry decided to abandon its roots and to grab the bucks that some of the “Southern Rockers” were pulling down with enormous stadium concert sellouts and multiple platinum record sales! Charlie made his bones doing “Beach Music” and session work as well as producing rock acts like The Youngbloods while he struggled to get his own act out there. When he decided to stop imitating other big acts and just “do his own thing” he recorded Uneasy Rider and quickly formed the original Charlie Daniels Band and one of the roots of “Southern Rock” was created. If you listen to those early albums, you’ll hear a couple of my high school classmates and another friend or two playing and ain’t nothing “country” about what they were doing! Marshall Tucker is/was what “country” should’ve become, but what they played in those early days was far more rock and jazz than it was country!! What they and The Outlaws, Elvin Bishop, Molly Hatchet, Blackfoot, Wet Willy, Black Oak Arkansas, ZZ Top, and others created was SOUTHERN ROCK!! What set Southern Rock apart from the rest of Rock ‘N’ Roll was that if you could play your instrument well and knew when to step up AND when to step back, you were welcome and appreciated!! They are/were a lot less country than the Rockabilly gang! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
