Dig some Hatchet.

I have a large Spotify playlist where I mix up all kinds of crap, basically everything from Mozart all the way to Iron Maiden - Jazz, Classic Rock, Classical, Reggae, all kinds of stuff. I decided in January that I was going to listen to the whole thing. The Molly Hatchet song came up, and I was jamming!

Love "Highway Song". For that matter, the entire "Strikes" album does it for me. Never got into jazz. Always sounds to me like none of the musicians is paying any attention to what the others in the band are doing. I can handle a little reggae. A good friend a long time ago had a '53 F-100 with a monster engine in it with straight pipes on it. Couldn't hear the truck for the Bob Marley blasting out the windows going 30 MPH in a 55 zone. He was a unique character and FUN to work with.

OOOPS! "Highway Song" and Strikes are from Blackfoot. Very similar sounding band. Southern Rock seems to be hugely popular no matter where I've been in the world. I've heard Sweet Home Alabama played (if not over played) in Ireland, Scotland, New Zealand, and Australia. The very first song I heard when I landed in Australia the first time was Sweet Home Alabama. Nice to have that little touch of home after travelling for 40 hours.

When I was younger, I always liked Mom and Dad's Classic Rock, and I loved all the 80s New Wave when I was a teenager. I think those genres are a little more music oriented and sometimes experimental, and that is why I started listening to a little more jazz in the 90s. Plus, at that time, I was not a grunge fan, so my idea of Rock and Roll from the newer bands was about dead.
"Highway Song" is one of those things where by the end of the song, I am almost deaf from where the volume on the stereo ends up:) "Green Grass and High Tides" does the same thing to me.
In more of a jazz genre, some Grover Washington Jr., Rippingtons, Fattburger, and a few by Lee Ritenour, can also blow up some speakers.

That one is also AWESOME!
 
After last year, this is my new slogan for life:) Plus, I have started to dig their old albums A LOT.

I've been a Creedence fan since I can remember starting to like music at all. John Fogerty just has a really cool signature voice. I like his solo stuff too. FYI, when you listen to "Have you Ever Seen the Rain", it's him lamenting the impending break-up of the band. He really thought the band would go on forever like the Stones. Fogerty's kid is just as good with a guitar as he is. Looks just like him too. He's been doing some music with his family lately, but I can't call any of the album or song titles.

What's kinda strange, is that Fogerty and Credence were from out west, and sang music with a Delta Blues vibe. Don Henley and Glen Frey organized the Eagles in Louisiana, and they sang mostly west coast sounding music. Go figger.
 
These ones were kinda one-hit wonders, but this was a HUGE party song at 'Bama back in the day. It was covered by so many bands, but one that did the best with it was Eli.


This is much better if you can CRANK IT UP on a good stereo and annoy the neighbors a block away with it.

I can get a little deeper if you like.


These guys named their band after a cold night in Alaska (when it takes 3 dogs to keep ya warm). I love their vocals and the range in their style.

My wife loved them, but her favorite was "Pieces of April".

For Road Roach. I was screwing around on Spotify yesterday. The live versions on the album are just wonderful.
Sorry, it wouldn't post. Santana Moonflower album.
