Last Friday 6/20/25 Cody Parks and the Dirty South rolled though The Forge in Joliet,IL.
Their brand of "Country Metal" as they call it, is a unique mix of Pantera, Metallica and
White Zombie to name a few mix with country legends such as David Allan Coe, Hank Williams
Jr. and Johnny Cash. Their unique sound gained attention with their song aptly titled
"ThunderCash 69" which is a mash up of White Zombie's "Thunderkiss 65" and Johnny Cash's
"Folsom Prison Blues". They pulled a fast one by doing a version of Metallica's "For
Whom The Bell Tolls" and the place went crazy. Their high energy show is a non stop
rollercoaster of excitement. The crowd got into their songs "Water In The Well", "Dirt I'm
From" and "Girls and Gasoline". They ended their set with "Redneck Rich" that went into an
outro jam that was shaking the building. If Cody Parks and the Dirty South aren't playing a
biker rally or a private show I highly recommend to go check them out in a town near you.
You won't be disappointed.
