is a genre that emerged in the American South in the late 1960s, blending rock with blues, country, and boogie. Known for its gritty guitar riffs, strong rhythms, and often dual-lead guitar interplay, it was popularized by bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers Band. The style combines swagger, groove, and storytelling, often reflecting themes of regional identity, freedom, and everyday life.
