We're off to Florida. I bet your immediate thoughts were the Everglades, Disney World, the Keys or maybe Cape Canaveral. But no, we're going to the Florida Panhandle, that strip of territory that separates the southern states like Alabama from the Gulf of Mexico coastline. So what better title for this blog than the name of a song that is the very definition of 'Southern Rock' - "Midnight Rider" by The Allman Brothers Band. This three minute gem was released in September of 1970. Written by Gregg Allman and Robert Kim Payne it features the guitar work of Duane Allman, Gregg's brother, and Dickey Betts whose instrumental "Jessica" is another Southern Rock standard.
So come along for the ride through Tennessee and Alabama and join in the adventure to Cape San Blas on the northern Gulf Coast.
