I don't know about that. They had very healthy record sales and radio airplay back in the day and never had to spend a lot of money on concert tours and such. They could walk down the street and not get mobbed by fans. Seems like a perfect situation to me.
After that, they continued to be in demand session players, which is how they started out.
I've wondered many times: Why didn't The Swampers find a singer and do the same thing? I think it would have been the most sure-fire gamble ever.

Would they be considered "souther rock" in the vein of Skynard and Altman brothers?

Only by honorable mention due to geography. I remember thinking they were a little on the easy listening side even as a child when you heard them a lot on rock radio stations.
