AN INTRODUCTION TO ... Southern Rock For Metalheads

A Heavy Metal Podcast - The Mighty Decibel

Welcome back to our An Introduction To ... series which provides a playlist that we think is representative of the genre/sub-genre in question. This episode we're delving into the world of southern rock ... specifically of the heavier variety given that we here at The Mighty Decibel prefer our music to singe our ear hair! Take the journey with us from the 70s to current day and hear some of the rowdiest down-home southern cookin' that you'll ever imbibe. Hopefully, this will cause some of you out there to dip your toes further into the joys of the south. Gimme some of that chomp, chomp!!!!
