Band art representative of '70s Southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd or Allman Bros.

Southern Rockers Take the Lead
Jan. 28 2005

What happened in the last four years to brother Followill was a welcome change. It produced Aha Shake Heartbreak (the band's second) and is rockin the socks off of the USA. Reaching down with their Southern roots and utilizing the Nashville launching pad- Kings of Leon (Leon was their grandfather) set out across the heartland to pick up a solid sound. "The Bucket" is typical of the entire album.
