The Ray Pittman Band - Getcha Some (1981)

Hard Southern Rock from North Carolina/USA similar to LYNYRD SKYNYRD & MARSHALL TUCKER BAND with double leads and slide guitars. Ray Pittman was a member of the US-Bluesrock-Band BULL, before he made this album with his own band.
Excellent album that 70’s styled hard rock and southern rock lovers will enjoy for sure. Highlight of the LP is epic ballad “Bullets” which sounds a bit like a mix of “Free Bird” and Point Blank’s “Stars and Scars”. A real gem! Other tracks are good and pretty varied too, with boogie rock (“Whatever Happened to Ol’ Lucille?”), pure hard rock (“Ain’t What You’ve Got”) or more traditional southern rock à la Marshall Tucker Band (“Love Changes like the Weather”). That’s a rare and very good album so if you find it.
