Hey, Don't forget about Delbert McClinton. If you don't know him, play some of his stuff.

One hell of a band.

First saw them about 1972 in little Memorial Hall at UGA (Athens, GA). They completely blew our little crowd away. We knew they were going big time. They did, with a quickness.

I heard them at Thiristies in Mobile AL back in the late 70s

big time

I like to think of Wet Willy, Molly Hatchett, Synyard, Marshall Tucker Band as the heart and soul of black and white soul of the South. Priceless!! It don't get no better than that.  I 've been around this southern soul/rock for over 40 years. It still makes my heart sing.
