Best Musical Artist from Georgia

Kasey

Sitting here listening to Shake Your Moneymaker by The Black Crowes and it got me thinking...

who do you think is the best band/musical artist to come out of Georgia?

Otis Redding or Black Crowes is where it's at for me off the top of my head

Whos yours?

if you say Widespread Panic I'm banning you (not really[but maybe])

@Old_lady_dawg_fan You are SO right. They were on Capricorn Records; you don’t get more Georgia than that. Your post is upvoted and Twiggs Approved!

I also need to toss Atlanta Rhythm Section into this flurry. Stellar musicians, hall of fame song writer, got their start in Doraville and Studio One off Oakcliff Rd. Got a little wimpy at the end, but they could seriously jam in the early days.

Dang - one more, maybe a stretch, partial off topic accepted.

Brendan O’Brien from Tucker, Ga.; the best guitar player you’ve likely never seen play. Local Guitar G*d in late 70s in a Zep cover band (Pranks) and went on to produce everybody who’s ever been anybody - look him up.

I’m partial to Collective Soul. They still put out new music and tour.

Got to echo some of y’all and say Otis Redding! That never gets old!!

@PanicSpringTour02 upvote for Futurebirds. Friend of mine represents them. Been around for a little while but still an up-and-coming band. They're at their best live. Touring plans have been on hold due to CV but they're slated to play Sweetwater Fest (Atlanta) in April 2021 if anyone wants to check them out.

Hey Capt, no Beef with yah but if your going to mention Hampton may as well throw in one of my old neighbors, Glenn Philips.

Can't go wrong with any of the people mentioned in this thread and we are blessed to have so much great live music in GA. But no one has mentioned who may end up being the biggest act from GA and that's Lady Antebellum. My brother grew up with these guys... Good guys and Hillary is as sweet as she can be when I've been around her.

Also growing up in Augusta I'm partial to the Godfather... James Brown!

Lady Antebellum is almost disqualified because they went to Lakeside. And people forget James Brown was actually born in South Carolina...though he was raised in downtown Augusta.

I too am from Augusta and give special preference to the man who gave us Dooley's Junkyard Dawgs
