[The Kings of Southern Rock – The Allman Brothers Band]

If you're writing about the South, you need to listen to some Southern music. In my case that's Southern rock. Since Beautiful Creatures, and the sequel we are writing now, are about a lot more than just the South, I need a few other songs mixed in for good measure.

Here's the bare minimum:

1. No One to Run With – The Allman Brothers

2. Black Water – The Doobie Brothers

3. Southern Cross – Crosby, Stills & Nash

4. Sweet Home Alabama -Lynard Skynard

5. Drift Away – Dobie Gray

6. Magic Man – Heart

7. Bad Rain- The Allman Brothers

8. Hells Bells AC/DC

9. Landslide – Stevie Nicks

10. Free Bird – Lynard Skynard

11. Simple Man – Lynard Skynard

12.China Grove – The Doobie Brothers

13. Whipping Post – The Allman Brothers

14. Tuesday's Gone – Lynard Skynard

15. Dreams I'll Never See – Molly Hatchet

16. Down on My Knees – Trisha Yearwood

Look for this station soon on my Pandora.
