“There are many twists and turns in this tale, some funny, some tragic, all fascinating and in the end, inspiring. "Rebel Yell" is a gift Smith has given back to the musicians he has always loved, and we all benefit from receiv- ing it." - Galadrielle Allman (Author of Please Be with Me: A Song for My Father)


“A true and fair, tell it like it was, "Keeper of the Flame!" That’s our Michael alright. Sho nuff! Oh! He is also a very good listener. Hence the great storyteller. - Bonnie Bramlett


“Michael Buffalo Smith is the true voice of Southern rock, and Rebel Yell clearly echoes that." - John Lynskey, Editor Hittin' the Note magazine


“Michael is the Flannery O’Connor of South- ern music, integrity of music and literature.” - Col. Bruce Hampton


Rebel Yell: An Oral History of Southern Rock presents the story of a musical genre born in the back- woods, highways, and swamps of Macon, Georgia, and Jacksonville, Florida in 1969 and peaking in popularity during the 1970s. This history is told by the musicians, roadies, fans, and recording indus- try folk who lived it. Drawn from literally hundreds of hours of interviews with the author, the book focuses on the “big four”—The Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Marshall Tucker Band,


and The Charlie Daniels Band—while delving into the careers of other great bands like The Outlaws, Bonnie Bramlett, Cowboy, Wet Willie, and Molly Hatchet. Written by the author of Prisoner of Southern Rock: A Memoir, the book features a foreword by Alan Walden.
