It would be a shame to pigeonhole the Truckers as "Southern rock," despite the fact that they are Southern, do rock, and even have a double-length concept album about Lynyrd Skynyrd. Their latest release, The Dirty South, is about to drop, but do yourself a favor and get Decoration Day first. For immediate gratification, you can (legally) download a live version of the title track or hop over to KEXP's live music archive and check out performances from both Decoration Day and the upcoming release.
