I've seen so many r&r bands in my lifetime, I can't remember all their names, but the one that stands out the most is ZZ Top. Their sound is impeccable, totally in sync with their audience, and the word cool doesn't come close to doing them justice.

Rayman Shares One Of His All Time Favorites “Anna (go to him)” by Arthur Alexander [AUDIO]

I want to share with you one of my all time favorite songs. It's a little known song, done originally by Arthur Alexander back in 1962. Not only is it a beautiful song, the tempo is unusual for the time. Many experts agree that the majority of r&r songs are done in 4/5 time. It was pretty much the standard.

"Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd", their debut album released in 1973 wrote the book on Southern rock. There are very few records that sound this raw and uncompromising that are released by debut bands. The true genius of Lynyrd Skynyrd is their ability to blend hard rock, blues, country and even garage rock into a sound that is totally pleasing to the ear, yet very unique.
