No discussion on Country rock would be complete without mentioning some
of the other southern bands responsible for heloing redefining the
genre..Charlie Daniels, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Blackfoot, Skynyrd,
Allmanns, Hatchet, Blues Image, .38 Special, and even the much worn out
and FM-ruined candy-ass band The Eagles.

Yea,,,,I remember the post-Buffalo Springfield member's band.. the "Kind
Woman" and "Under the Gun" thing....but the country-rock theme goes back
further than even that...remember Rock-a-Billy and the Burnett family?
Sam Phillip's Sun Studios in Memphis with Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash,
even Elvis. Bob Dylan, The Byrds, and others brought it to a younger
audience. Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock and Roll credits CCR as
being responsible for the country-rock revival.
Incidentally, did you know Furay auditioned Greg Allman (then with
Allman Joys) but rejected him?

No I did not know that. Richie is now a baptist minister.

Now that ought to be rockin' indeed. I didn't know the dude was a
minister now. Does he still jam or what's the story? When Charlie
Daniels took to preaching, his music and live shows suffered greatly.
Weird.

Nope, unfortunately Furay hung up his touring

boots when he got religion.

If this was back in the day, I would ask what album is on your
turntable. So, in earnest effort to appear with the times,,what is in
your CD/tape player/Ipod/whatever at this moment?

I have all except 8-track and reel to reel. Whatcha' offering? :)

I need to update, no reel-to-reel : )
I was asking what you were listening to.......as soon as I can get one
of the kids to stop by and teach me about music on the internet and
swapping files, who knows where this technological leap may lead me? I
may end up with a new way to access the group on one of those new
fangled gadgets y'all call a pc.
