Read Southall Band - For The Birds - Music CD

2022 release. While impossible to pinpoint, the music on For the Birds could be called, well, timeless. It's rock'n'roll, and it doesn't easily fall into labels like country, Southern rock or classic rock. It's ambitious to a degree that's rare for a guitar-driven band in 2021 - witness the first single "Where We Belong," an epic number that clocks in at a whopping six-plus minutes. You're not going to find many albums that evoke both the likes of Waylon Jennings ("Here We Are") or early grunge ("Out of My Mind," which would sound just fine sandwiched between Temple of the Dog and an early Smashing Pumpkins record). From classic to contemporary rock, these are songs that could appeal to the disparate fanbases of Gary Stewart, Joe Walsh, Rival Sons or Chris Cornell.
