The South's Gonna Do It Again - Charlie Daniels Band | The Midnight Special

 

From April 11th, 1975, here is The Charlie Daniels Band on "The Midnight Special" playing "The South's Gonna Do It Again", a song Charlie and the band wrote, in tribute to their fellow southern boogie rock bands and artists of the era.  One great thing is that the "southern rock" movement and idea, really was more of a marketing thing, because rock and roll as we know it, was born in the southern United States, really, in Memphis, at Sun Records with Elvis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash.  I think a lot of the bands in the '70s that came from the southern part of the country, they knew they were just carrying on a tradition that really started with the blues and early country music, and kept the tradition alive.
