Cross Canadian Ragweed

They play a local (as in the Oklahoma/Texas area) variety of rock that i've not heard of anywhere else called. Its called "red dirt." Some of it has a bit of a country tone (occasional slide guitars), but most of is quite a bit harder. 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
