After the first generation of rock n' roll pioneers found their careers swamped by the British
Invasion, southern musicians retrenched and distilled a potent blend of country, blues, and
soul to create a uniquely American sound. As session players in Memphis and Muscle Shoals
influenced 60s garage band refugees to explore their roots, and the kids inspired the old
hands to loosen up and explore their wilder musical impulses, what emerged was a volatile
and distinctly southern brew that came to dominate American music in the 1970s.
Driven by The Allman Brothers, Charlie Daniels, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Leon Russell, this new
strain of American music offered an alternative to UK post-psychedelic heavy rock, sold
millions of records, and somehow played a major role in electing a US President in 1976.
Packed with stellar names and laced with purist curios in need of rediscovery, ‘Midnight
Riders’ takes us on a a twelve-year journey through Southern rock’s complicated relationship
with the American dream, a story told chronologically and annotated with insightful,
first-hand account sleevenotes from Georgia native son James Barber.
For established fans, nostalgic time travellers and those who like their rock to roll and their
roll to rock.
