Interesting range of musical influences in that track.

I'd say Southern Rock was related to country as it is to blues, perhaps more blues based but there is often a country influence too.
I wouldn't call the Eagles Southern Rock. They had a very West coast sound & they fit neatly into Country Rock though they moved a bit away from country later.

As to Lynyrd Skynyrd, there was a country multi-artiste tribute album to Lyn yrd Skynyrd came out in the Nineties in which Skynyrd also took part(I think).
There was also a country tribute to the Eagles-Common Threads- at about the same time which the Eagles took part in

I personally adore the Eagles, ever since I heard Hotel California on the radio when I was young. I believe I own most of their albums. I would looove to see them live.

I saw the Eagles at Twickenham stadium about 4 years back. They were great. Worth going to see if they come your way

of the Eagles I only really like On the Border (album) and Hotel California (song)

Lisnaholic 04-25-2011 08:44 PM

^ Yeah, some Eagles material is great, and Calexico too. In fact, it`s all good on this thread - and nobody`s even mentioned Nashville Skyline or Neil Young.

Here`s another guy who, like NY, shows that country can come out of Canada too :

Bob Dylans' "Nashville Skyline" was great. In fact, check out John Wesley Harding (a superb album)- that album closes with a country love song "I'll Be Your Baby tonight" which is sort of a prequel to "Nashville Skyline".
Neil Young has done alot of country influenced stuff over the years. In the eighties he did an all out country album "Old ways". He went to nashville to promote it & guested on TNN Country music TV Channel hosted by none other than Ralph Emery, the very same guy who a few decades earlier had crossed swords with Gram Parsons & roger McGuinn

Lisnaholic 04-27-2011 08:11 AM

^ I didn`t know that about Ralph Emery, but apart from "Are there any more real cowboys?" I was pretty disappointed by Old Ways.

About that time I gave up on NY for a while, and started listening to this guy, who played a kind of country-spoof music :
