Id have to give that one a big no-no. Country is not rock, there is country rock, but country is not rock. Southern rock from the 70's is basically blues-rock with a southern swagger and a TINGE of country. The Allmans were all blues-rock, Skynyrd had a little country in them, ZZ top also all blues-rock. Sure there were some southern rock artists that had alot more country in them like Charlie Daniels and the Kentucky Headhunters which kinda swung both sides, they were country, yet they had some blues/rock in them, and were from the south.
Im kinda an "afficianado" of this subject
