MARKS BEST SONGS OF 1975 COUNTDOWN ... NO. 245 LEONA–WET WILLIE (#69, March) In 1974, the band Wet Willie broke through with the song Keep On Smilin, a No. 10 hit. A year later, they released the album Dixie Rock, featuring Leona, a good-time rocker featuring Jimmy Halls passionate vocals and saxophone work, as well as the guitar crafting of Ricky Hirsch. The song has a good ol boy flavor thats reminiscent of Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers, but more boogie than those bands. And the mention of collard greens, fried chicken and iced team not only makes most of us hungry, but also shows the Mobile, Ala. bands Southern roots are fairly strong. This will be Wet Willies lone song in this countdown. Thoughts, memories? Enjoy!
