Hi guys. My apologies for the two days of down time. We experienced a problem with our DSL internet service that virtually crippled the GRITZ offices for almost two days. We are happy to come back kicking with the next 20 entries in our 100 Defining Moments in Southern Rock History. I hope you'll check them out and let us know what you think.
Also, check out our latest CD reviews on a great album from Rob Roy Parnell, brother of Lee Roy, and singer songwriter Emory Joseph's tribute to the music of The Grateful Dead.
Keep it Real. Keep it Southern.

I agree Tiger. Hinton was as much a southern rocker as anyone. Did you know he was almost asked to join the Allman Brothers? He was a monster guitarist.

I think Betts getting fire disturbed me the most. I'm not saying he didn't deserve it but think about The Allmans with Haynes, Trucks and Betts fronting the band. An incredable oppertunity missed. I can relate thats why my band broke up. We made music as a unit on stage but fought like Road Dogs off stage. Miss your music Betts. Maybe the wound will heal someday and they could make some more great music togather.
