"...cuz the South's gonna to do it again."

But man, that song rocks, especially the end. In a, you know, country way.

I’m a fan of Lucero. The lead singer definitely has a Southern accent, but I haven’t noticed any questionable lyrics or glorification of ignorant redneck bullshit. No “codes” or dogwhistles. Maybe you should check them out.

I will absolutely give them a listen

Lucero is pretty legit. Really nice guys too. My buddy made friends with the singer way back when he was in his previous band and subsequently Lucero is one of the few bands I've been following since basically day one.

Some of these are more country than southern rock, but you might also like Jason Isbell, 16 Horsepower, Slim Cessna's Auto Club, Corb Lund, Wovenhand, Larkin Poe, Pink Williams (if you're not turned off by leftist politics), and Hank Williams III (if you don't mind a lot of drug references), and The Goddamn Gallows.
