Well, they weren't really overlooked, but . . .

The Marshall Tucker Band is one of the coolest Southern Rock bands ever, and the lead guitar-player, Toy Caldwell (may he Rest in Peace) could really do some "chickin' Pickin'," (southern U.S. slang for hot guitar picking). They are a bit on the country side of Southern Rock, but they mix great song-writing with virtuoso guitar, and I highly recommend them.

I've got a real soft spot for Southern/confederate rock too. The Allman Brothers (early days anyway) are legendary. 'Live at Fillmore East' has to be the ultimate guitar jamfest. Early Molly Hatchett were great too, with Dave Hlubek cutting some tasty riffs esp on 'Boogie no more'. What's happening with the Southern scene over in the US these days?
