the imminent passing of Jimmy Carter has naturally called to mind his beloved Allman Brothers and with that you are welcome to episode 143 of the Radio Hour That Feels Like Two Hour’s first ever SOUTHERN ROCK SPECIAL. Lynyrd Skynyrd! The Outlaws! .38 Special! Molly Hatchet! The Charlie Daniels Band! Black Oak Arkansas! AntiSeen! the Amazing Rhythm Aces! Raging Slab! The Marshall Tucker Band! Barefoot Jerry! Driving’ & Cryin’! Blackberry Smoke! The Impotent Sea Snakes!
Yes, that certainly is a lot of names. And with all due respect to President Carter, I won’t be playing any of them (though AntiSeen might get a look in one of the weeks, who knows) but there is JD & The Straight Shot’s version of “Whipping Post” at the very end of the program (the track is not listed due to rights clearance issues). That’s the best I can do, sorry — I’ll try to get my shit together for the next SOUTHERN ROCK SPECIAL.
