As a longtime fan, I would recommend starting with any of those four and going from there. Great band.

'Southern Rock Opera' is great as well. I would listen to samples on line as the mix of southern rock vs hard country varies by album. So, depends on your taste. I give the nod to Dirty South as my fave.

They play more songs live off of the southern rock opera...it is their classic album.
