What are you're favorite Southern Rock Bassists?
And Why? Mine are;
Leon Wilkeson; Lynyrd Skynyrd- RIP LEON
Leon was so Melodic and his style Fit best with LS
Charlie Hayward-CDB, He is a great bass player and he does a lot of diffrent styles in the CDB Country/SR/Blues/Jazz/ and even Latin styles!
Larry J- From 38 Special & original Skynyrd Bassist!
Love is work on the Live Cd, especially on "Twentith Centry Fox", and the earliest LS recording going back to 1968!
Ok now you're turn!

...at least, Oakley attempted to walk thru the changes in SIX("Stormy Monday"). 
How 'bout Lamar Williams, Oakey's successor?
Nice work on Brothers & Sisters & in the Allman Bros' offshoot band, Sea Level(also on Capricorn Records...maybe NOT Southern Rock, per se, but ya know).

I love Berry and Leon also.
Allen Woody. Paul Goddard from the Atlanta Rythm section. Larry Junstrom from 38 Spcial is pretty good plus he plays St Blues basses.

| | | | I agree with you 100% on Charlie Hayward. That man is such an underrated bassist. Great grooves in Ragin Cajun, Behind Your Eyes, Mississippi, The South's Gonna Do it Again. I don't know why more people don't appreciate him.
Also love Leon Wilkinson. He was always tasty. Such great lines in I've Been Your Fool, I Know a Little, I Never Dreamed, Saturday Night Speical (simple but tasteful), What's Your Name, the list can go on.
Also a big fan of both the Allman's bassist, Barrey Oakley and Allen Woody. I still haven't heard any Gov't Mule yet, and I really want too.

Also like Greg Walker from Blackfoot, was also on a few early SKynyrd Material!

[/url] | "Waiting for Columbus" double live cd is a definite classic.
As for SR Bassists, Capt. Al, The Big A.W.! Allen Woody has to top my list.--His work w/ ABB is surely SR/Jam. Some of the Gov't Mule stuff is SR-esque, but most of it is flat out kick-ass!!!
Leon w/ Skynyrd I always felt had some real nice walking-bass lines (e.g. "I know a Little") and really had a great tone mid 70's |

And have to agree with Paul Goddard and Leon Wilkeson, as well.
