Southern Rock at Its Finest
Steve Vrana | Aurora, NE | 01/12/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This massive 32-track collection clocks in at more than two and a half hours of some of the finest Southern rock ever committed to vinyl. It begins and ends with the cornerstones of the genre--Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers. In addition, other Seventies stalwarts such as the Marshall Tucker Band, The Outlaws, The Charlie Daniels Band and Molly Hatchet are represented with their most well known songs.



However, it also includes second-generation acts like The Georgia Satellites, The Kentucky Headhunters and Steve Earle from the Eighties. And while some may argue the point, do we really need another anthology with "Sweet Home Alabama" or "Ramblin' Man"; it's nice to have these songs all in one collection.



But what truly makes this a comprehensive set is the inclusion of lesser known artists like The Arc Angels (featuring Doyle Bramhall II and Charlie Sexton) and Capricorn Records' all but forgotten Cowboy. Hip-O Records has done a uniformaly excellent job with its Gold Series, and SOUTHERN ROCK GOLD is one of the label's highwater marks. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED"
Great Collection
Tk | Montana | 01/03/2007

"What a great collection. This one's got almost all of 'em. After watching CMT's top 20 southern rock songs of all time, I started scrambling to fill in the gaps in my collection. Then I stumbled on this latest 2 CD compilation. I was surprised to see not only did they include the really big all time classics, but many others that are usually overlooked. All in all, worth getting."
Ditto.....some gems on this collection!!!!!!!
Ride the country 77 | Montgomery, AL USA | 02/03/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Wow!...I have finally found 'Mindbender' on Cd (Jimmy Hall on lead vocals, in case you didn't know)..'Please Be With Me' by Cowboy (off Clapton's 461, but written by these guys). You get the Dixie Dregs, Sea Level for the jazzier side...'Only You Know and I Know' by Delaney and Bonnie, another cool addition..but nuff said...if you're not convinced now, well check out the rest of the track listing..you should be, convinced that is."
