A classic of Southern rock. Recommended popular songs.

There are many subgenres of rock, but so-called “Southern rock” is, as the name suggests, a genre characterized by sounds influenced by music with strong roots in the American South.

Blending country, blues, and old-school R&B, Southern rock boasts many hugely popular bands in the United States.

In Japan, however, it’s honestly a less familiar genre, and even those who know the name might feel it’s somehow a bit hard to get into.

This article introduces classic tracks recommended for beginners to help spark your interest in Southern rock.

Experience the deep appeal of Southern rock for yourself!
