The Crossroads saw the first light, in the second half of the 70's, in Arkansas. In 1979 they released their first record, under the title "Southern Strutter", this is precisely the tone of their music, sounds from the south with obvious influences, especially, by Lynyrd Skyrnyrd and Allman Brothers (post Duane Allman era, “Brothers and Sisters” etc.), there are times when the melodies have a lighter texture flirting with the mainstream. Nice record, of the kind that won’t dissapoint you, considering of the time it’s released, just before the threshold of the 80’s.
