Ron Keel Band, led by legendary frontman Ron Keel (Steeler, Keel), released their new album, South X South Dakota, on April 24 via HighVolMusic. The new album is a collection of 11 tracks of some the best southern rock music ever recorded.
Ron Keel explains: "Most of these tracks happened very organically in the studio as we were working on the Fight Like A Band sessions or just having fun. I found out later that producer Mike Dresch was actually recording those jams, and upon hearing some of the tracks it was obvious we had the makings of something special. Whether you grew up on this stuff like I did or not, there’s a common thread here that ties it all together - toughness and twang as Metal and Country collide on sacred southern ground."
