Adam, in your provocative opening post, you twice used the term "Southern-born". I'm really hoping that wasn't intended as a badge of authenticity, otherwise aren't we just going round in circles?
I have been into the Allman Bros lately too. The new Gregg Allman album is good stuff. As for a white blues recording, I give you Lynyrd Skynyrd with Call Me the Breeze, live. Another band that has withstood tragedy. Unbelievable guitar work, distinctive vocals...probably more blues/rock, but a lot of energy.
