1. Nirvana, All Apologies.

   appreciate whoever corrected me on the name.

2. Every shirtless asshole in college with a guitar played Wonderwall.

3. *30 Days in the Hole* by Humble Pie

4. How much time so you have?

   Edit: why’d you guys downvote the OP?

5. Southern rock songs for low male voice? May I recommend one Mr. Johnny Cash? His entire oeuvre?

6. Does it have to be southern rock?

   If not, there’s [The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.](https://youtu.be/PH0K6ojmGZA). Probably not considered southern rock but it tells a pretty good story and seems easy to sing.

7. If you don’t know how to jam this song, you’re not a Southern Rocker yet

   [The Marshall Tucker Band — Can’t You See](https://youtu.be/5KaAOrjKVJI)

8. [Going to California ](https://youtu.be/NrUIJY_Xu2s) by Led Zeppelin

9. All Them Witches – [Open Passageways](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTM4buWfgSA)

10. Fire on the mountain – Marshall Tucker Band

11. “Wagon Wheel”-Old Crow Medicine Show

    “Good Lord Lorrie”-Turnpike Troubadours

    “Folsom Prison Blues”-John R. Cash

    “Amarillo By Morning”-George Strait

12. Listen to doc watson’s discography

13. I’m on mobile so it’s difficult to link, but for Southern rock, you can’t go wrong with the Allman Brothers.

    It Not My Cross to Bear

    Honestly just go through their whole discography and you’ll find something you’ll love.

    For modern Southern rock, check out Tedeschi Trucks Band. Female vocalist (on most tracks) but their acoustic tracks such as The Ending, Calling out to You, and Day in the Sun will be good and fairly easy to learn. Fair warning though, Derek Trucks is a guitar *god.* Quite possibly the best guitar player on the planet. Midnight in Harlem is the most perfect (not best, but most perfect) guitar solo ever laid down. His work on Gravity, Still Your Mind, Crying Over You (from Live at the Fox), The Storm, and Anyhow are jaw dropping. Go through their discography.

14. The Animals (House of the Rising Sun) are from the UK. No issue, just thought you should know

15. If you’re on acoustic learn colter wall songs. I recently learned “the devil wears a suit and tie” and it sounds so good once you get it down. Plus colter wall has a deep voice!

16. If it’s a really low voice try “15 tons” by Tennessee Ernie Ford.

17. Friends In Low Places – Garth Brooks

    Wagon Wheel – Old Crow Medicine Show

    Ring Of Fire – Johnny Cash

    On the Road Again – Willie Nelson

    [Jolene](https://youtu.be/BKWZJyo9AwM)— that’s an acoustic cover; [here’s the original](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GFPlF6rXnik) and while it’s from a woman’s perspective, it’s a fantastic and classic song

    [Simple Man](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sMmTkKz60W8)

    [Sweet Baby James](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fyoZLKgLcys) and [Fire and Rain](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=N4E9MKbOFAY)

    [Long Black Veil](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=50k18gL76AU)

    [Shady Grove](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6G5__H-FOA4)
