Kind of a derivation of the classic southern rock groups of the 60's and 70's (Creedence Clearwater Revival, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jethro Tull), but without the cheesiness. They'll split your ears with a hard-rock tune, then give ya a soulful bit of country poetry.
Listen to:
Boys From Oklahoma
Carnie Man
Train to Birmingham

Hell yeah! I love CCR!
For the Modust Mouse reccomenders: They're geting tons of playtime in Dallas/Fort Worth on 102.1 - the most popular "alternative" station.
THe band "Dispatch" may be more popular in other parts of the the U.S., but around here noones heard of them. They'd have to be my reccomendation.
