On Friday April 13th BBC 4 continues its fantastic run of musical programming with a night dedicated to all things Southern Rock. This kicks off at 9pm with Sweet Home Alabama: The Southern Rock Saga - an hour long documentary charting the rise of the genre - and is followed up with a selection of studio performances from all the big names in Southern Rock at the BBC. Rounding the night off is a classic live performance from the genre's chief exponents Lynyrd Skynyrd, from Shepherd's Bush in 1975. Not to be missed!

For many people their first experience of Southern Rock was through Eric Clapton - with Duane Allman from the Allman Brothers providing the slide guitar on the classic Layla, he brought the genre into the mainstream. The album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs was wall-to-wall Southern Rock and chock-full of the Blues. For others their first exposure to the music of the South was from watching BBC TV's Top Gear, who used The Allman Brothers Band's Jessica as its theme tune.

To get you in the mood we thought we'd present you with a selection of the genre's finest recordings - essential listening whether you're a Southern Rock expert or simply dipping your toe in for the first time.
