As the anchor of Nashville’s Kings of Leon – a modernist mélange of American rock ‘n’ roll which quotes garage, blues, punk, country, and Southern rock – Jared Followill piles  passages in service of the almighty song with motifs that sit in the pocket and/or forge a melodic statement and/or both! Jared’s main weapon of choice is the Gibson Thunderbird IV, and we’ve spotted him with a Epiphone version as well, along with a standard Gibson SG, and old reliables Fender Jazz and Precision basses.
