ward helping to pay legal fees to set up The Southern Rock Hall of Fame and Museum. The artists featured are all taken directly
from the pages of Kudzoo Magazine, and run the gamut from Americana to Southern Rock, Blues to Country, and there’s not a bad cut on the album. The set starts off with a live acoustic per-
formance by the great Paul Thorn, “Don’t Let Nobody Rob You of Your Joy.” Thorn is one of our generation’s greatest songwriters and singers, and I can think of no better way kick off the album. The Boxmasters, an ultra-hip band out of
Los Angeles that counts Billy Bob Thornton among its members, delivers a poppy-rocker called “I Dig a Waitress” which alone is worth the price of admission. Classic boogie rockers Foghat smoke it out
on “Honey Do List,” a hot and dare I say sexy rocker with Scott Holt sharing lead vocals with Dana Fuchs, and boy can the lady ever sing! Speaking of Foghat, drummer and found-
ing member Roger Earl has a rocking side project called Earl & The Agitators who pull out all the stops on the electric blues of “Love Isn’t Kind.” Have mercy. Oh, and speaking of the blues, E.G. Kight simply smolders on “Comin’ Down with the Blues” and Sonny Moorman kicks the blues with old school slide with “You Made All My Blues Come True.” The country is rockin’ with Winters Broth-
ers Band co-founder Donnie Winters, who contributes a cut from his first ever solo album. It’s my kind of country, A great tune called “If I’m Lucky.” And Ohio Outlaw Coun- try rocker Dallas Moore hands in a great track from his brand new live album, “Shoot Out the Lights.” Lyman Ellerman, one of our favorite singer
songwriters, brings back his band Ragged Jack with a southern rockin’ “Whiskey,” while New Orleans rocker Charlie Wood gets a little
58
help on songwriting and guitar from Jack Pearson on “Strange Brew.” It’s a goodie. And Speaking of Southern Rock, The Silver Travis Band pay tribute to the Carolina’s biggest ex- port besides textiles, moonshine, with a song from their forthcoming album, “Copperline.” I like this band. They remind me of the old Marshall Tucker Band in many ways. There’s an excellent song from the
band Jericho Woods, a great sing-along called “Better Now,” and a rocking cut from a Christian rock band called Silverfish (featur- ing former members of Catawompus) called “Celebrate.” Baton Rouge multi-instrumentalist
Tom Coerver rocks it ZZ Top style on “Back- woods Barbecue,” featuring some smoking slide guitar, and Kudzoo editor Michael Buf- falo Smith contributes a never before re- leased track from 2007, recorded in Huntsville, Alabama with the Crawlers, and dedicated to their lead guitarist, the late great Ray Brand. Original Marshall Tucker Band guitarist George McCorkle (RIP) played lead guitar on the song, “A Change in the Weather.” This is an amazing collection of tunes,
budget priced, and for a good cause. I suggest you buy a few copies for the music lovers in your family and circle of friends. They make great stocking-stuffers.
