The Regulators,"Bar & Grill" (Southbound Records) Hey, it's Southern Rock right here in Southern California. The bombastic arena-rock and boogie riffs should thrill all those bikers dreaming of the day they get that Harley out of the shop. If you think "Free Bird" is one of the greatest rock songs of all time, this band is for you.

How many records have you listened to lately that really moved you, inspired you, kick started your imagination? I'd guess that the answer is not many! If that's true, pick up a copy of 'Bar & Grill",.......following in the footsteps of early Lynyrd Skynyrd and 38 Special, The Regulators capture the essence of outlaw rock!
