Instantly recognisable to people of a certain age in the UK as John Peel's theme tune from his Radio 1 show.
This is a tough one for me, Ed King is one of my favorite players of all time. Aside from that, he always carried himself in interviews as such a gentle soul and he was such a generous person toward his fans, running a blog for years that he would gleefully dive headlong into. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and dog-kiddos I remember seeing in his home videos from recent years. Rest well, Mr. King.RIP Ed King

I think this counts!
And this!
Southern Rock is surely a genre!
LA isn’t exactly “southern,” though the LA Sound of the 70s as exemplified by CCR, Canned Heat, the Doobies, Little Feat, and the Eagles definitely had downed a few bottles of Southern Comfort.
Ok I stand reprimanded
But thanks to @bodia I've been listening to Robert Jon & the Wreck all day. More Californians! But I'll be danged if they don't have the real southern-fried musical goods!
To muddy those Shenandoah waters even more, Skynyrd’s Ed King, he of the Sweet Home Alabama riff/solos and the Simple Man bassline, was from California.
And Don Felder is from north Florida and went off to California to join Eagles!
@Alnus Rubra is right though, southern rock is a genre. In the first wave (1970's), the bands where all from the southeast part of the country. Hence the name. But as the popularity spread, people from all parts have picked up the style and carried it on.
