Wet Willie: Kiel Center, St Louis

DURING THE 60's, there was a huge flood of "local colour" bands, which had national hits, one national album, and then, disappeared from the face of rock, except to their friends and neighbors. Right now, for the first time in years, there is a large influx from what many of us condescendingly refer to as the "South"; you know, five new bands, all on the same label, and all of them want to sound like the Allman Brothers.
