It's been ages since I've listened to Awaken. And grooveshark is much faster streaming than u-tube. Brilliant! Loud and clear!-

Menolly, how do you link a specific song? I tried and failed.

No comments on the Dixie Dregs link? Come on, guys/girls, it's a rocking bit of American southern prog!
I was hoping to use this thread to share recommendations with each other. Give it a minute or two, if it doesn't grab you, I'll understand. Praise or complain about it as you see fit, and then submit your own suggestion.

Given Malik's nudge, I gave it a listen...and got so caught up in it that I forgot I was trying to evaluate it. Ended up playing it through three times. Not at all what I expected.
When I read "rocking bit of American southern prog" I expected Southern Rock, with all that that term implies. It certainly deserves all the adjectives Mal applied to it, but it is far jazzier than the description led me to expect. Definitely strong progressive rock roots, and a good dose of classical influences as well.
I liked it.

Cool! Glad you liked it. Three times? Wow. What did you think of Steve Morse (guitarist)? Not only does he write every bit of the music, but is an outstanding guitarist. The parts where he decides to step in and do a solo are amazing. But at the same time, he lets the rest of the band have their space, too.
It reminds me of a really, REALLY good Kansas without the vocals.
If you liked that, check out the rest of the album, Bring 'Em Back Alive, also available on Grooveshark for free. Their version of Kashmir (Led Zep) is unbelievable. The guitar is so emotive, it sends chills up my spine everytime.
There are definitely songs that have more of a Southern influence on the album. Medley (Take it off the Top) even includes snippets of southern-rock classics like Skynyrd's Freebird . . . but unlike the version of the song you've ever heard. Very jazzy, yes. These guys are all virtuosos. I really like the bass player. And I love how Morse writes parts that let each of them shine.
This song, also off the live album, exemplifies that approach: Kat Food
And here is their Kashmir.
And the Medley I mentioned.
If you like this, do a search by albums and you'll find the entire concert.

where they get upset about the [size of my]

cause... i'm from Kentucky

Meh. The Pink Floyd one suggests "Smokestack Lightning" by the Yardbirds and "Piece of Mind" by Boston. Those songs have nothing in common.
Nice idea though.
