Eriisa:  Even Lynard Skynard is considered "Southern Rock".  Yeah, they did/do other things, but you can't take the country out of the boy(s), and they were from Texas, Georgia, and Florida.  I had a very good friend who is a Canadian rocker say after listening to a guitar player from Corpus, who was playing blues and rock sessions, that he could definitely hear the country influence.  "WHAT?" I thought.  But, when I got to listening to it closer with new ears, it was true, there was a strong country flavor to what he was playing.
