We just discovered recently this group at RTJ, and it seems that Cross Cut Saw is a real South band, born in 2001 by Mark Parker (lead vocal and lead guitar) and John David Cochran (rhythm guitar). This group gives us a seventies influenced Rock n'Roll, from Florida, Alabama, Tennessee and the other south US states. There is a great male rock spirit, with "sweating" guitars, hard riffs on every song, but there are also some quiet songs, ballads like "Three days" (looking like "Comin' Home" from Skynyrd) or "Wait Until Tomorrow" (like Bob Dylan). They call themselves the Southern Rock new spirit, are Molly Hatchet, Skynyrd, Marshall fans, they were the opening band for 38 Special, David Allan and Co, and the Classics Southern Rockers, so we just can wish them good luck and keep going on the road !
