CMT's 20 Greatest Southern Rock Songs

Home Grown ... Deep Fried and Sanctified!
A Little Bluesy, A Little Bit of Soul and a Whole Lot of Country Attitude

Don't let the "Southern" in Southern rock fool you. Everyone across the U.S.A. remembers when they first heard CMT's 20 Greatest Southern Rock Songs.

Maybe you first heard these songs blasting out of an eight track, rolling down the highway with the T-tops off. Maybe you were sneaking off to a kegger. Maybe you were in grade school swiping your uncle's tunes.

Whatever. These songs immediately take you back to a specific moment in time and demand to be turned up to 11. They are bona fide American classics -- songs that will never die.

We'll talk about the guitar genius of Duane Allman, the lyric poetry of Ronnie Van Zant, Charlie Daniels and Hank Jr. Not to mention the three guitar sonic assault of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Join us as we explore Southern rock's timeless appeal.
