O.K. Who's Got The CHRISTIAN SOUTHERN ROCK?    Empty O.K. Who's Got The CHRISTIAN SOUTHERN ROCK?

My enjoyment of Southern rock has resurfaced all of a sudden.   When I played guitar in a pick-up band in high school, 
we played Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, and Foghat, along with some classic rock.   

I am trying to find any decent Southern rock in the Christian realm.  
Could use some help in identifying some bands that are out there.

I'm familiar with the "hard Southern Rock / Southern metal" bands that are out there.  Not looking for those as much as I am really looking for bands more like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rossington-Collins Band, 38 Special, ZZ Top, Molly Hatchet, Allman Bros. Band, The Outlaws, Henry Paul Band, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Danny Joe Brown Band, etc.


Yesterday I found Billy Crain and Chainbreak3r.

What else is out there?

Maybe try Kish Moody's "Holy Rock Revival" album.
Probably too many different influences on the album to truly call it a "Southern Rock" record.  But much of the album certainly fall into that category (at least as far as I can tell).  He's not afraid of guitar solos either.
Very much a worship album as well, but not in the poppy modern worship style.

Great find, I like him.  However I like his next album "Living Testimony" even better - it's more gritty and raw.  
I do not think that one was released on CD, just digital unless I am missing something.

So far I have also found a band called Chainbreak3r and am checking out the back catalog of Third Day.
Also Billy Crain (ex-Outlaws, Henry Paul Band) has done some Christian southern rock but it is subtle.
Will also check out the band Visions, although they are not on Spotify.  I figure there has to be more though.

However I have read that for some reason Christian Southern rock does not sell well (except for Third Day, but they are closer to a modern rock band at times).  I wonder why that is?

Found a band called The Gibsons.   They have great guitar tone & attitude, the real deal as far as Southern rock goes.  
With a good producer and mixer, their material would come across so much better.  The material is uneven but when they hit a home run, they score.   

They have 5 albums released so far....the most consistent seems to be "Southern Rock Revival" from 2011.

For the ZZ Top feel, you gotta check out my projects by Big Chris & D'Bare Bones Band.

Just discovered Rob Cassells / Rob Castles.   
Very good blues-rock / southern rock.  
Has been around since the late 70's.

As a kid, before I ever got in to hard rock and metal southern rock was definitely my jam!

Let us know if you find any other artists in this genre!
