Not to be argumentive,but Monday the 13th could've been the release date.
Monday was the release date for new albums.It was changed to Tuesday because too many retailers were putting albums out early to capitalize on heavier weekend traffic. Pushing back the new release date to Tuesday took away this incentive.
I believe this change of date happened when I was running record stores. I began selling music in 1981.
hit #9 the same month as these albums' release--August 1973. nowhere near the impact as Brothers & Sisters or Skynyrd's debut but definitely 100% in the same vein. Dickey played dobro on "Long Haired Country Boy" on Daniels' 1974 album Fire on the Mountain.
I remember it was all over the radio, same time as Ramblin’ Man. That was also the same year Al Kooper was doing his Mose Jones thing, and Little Feat was heating up. I didn’t think of Little Feat as Southern Rock, but post-Lowell George, I think they eased into that, from what I understand.
Good stuff. Al Kooper is really who invented the term Southern rock. And the Feat was/is a GREAT band—not Southern rock but they had a similar vibe for sure.

Pretty sure release day was Tuesday back in 73 but I could be wrong…
I could be mistaken also,but I seem to recall when it changed(my old tired memory isn't what it once was)
Fuckin love this rock on 🤘

Charlie Daniels’ Uneasy Rider was around that time, too.

Daniels played with everyone too. He’s on Nashville Skyline, guitar, I think.
yes. a late bloomer in the solo career department.
