Southern Rock

Southern Rock is a subgenre of rock music that emerged in the U.S. South during the late 1960s and 1970s, blending hard rock, blues, and country. Defined by gritty electric guitar riffs, extended solos, and a driving rhythm section, it often features lyrical themes of southern pride, rebellion, and everyday struggle. Key bands include Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers Band.
