They were going to straighten up and then the plane crash. I had just seen them in concert August 27 1977, I was 19. Two months later it’s over.

    They never played at woodstock, and as simple as the music sounds they were a full band, three guitarists, bass, drums, piano and three backup singers. The music is of what southerners call a "down home" blend. Van Zant, the lead singer and the leader of the band, never wrote down a lyric. He remembered each song in his head. He also very seldom wore shoes or boots on stage.he said he liked it barefooted. His stage presence is extraodinary, he just mostly stood in one place, never danced all around like a lot of idiots do, he was who he was, he put on no airs, no fake stage presentation, and was a very gifted singer and songwriter. Skynyrd was top notch 1970s honkytonk music. They could hold their own with the best of the rockers of the era, but really could have been in lead of todays country as well. Van Zant was a rare breed, we lost a lot when we lost him.....

      it's a downgrade from the original, why waste time?

      Yeah now that they've heard the original, the Shinedown version is a must! Lex even said she wants to hear a cover....here you go....check it out! And I should note, their version doesn't go all crazy...it's very true to the original, but with a different soul to it. Highly recommended!

      @@clayman41 I disagree. I think that it's it's completely oversung.

    So there is a GREAT cover of this oddly enough done by his son in law. Ronnie VanZant died short of 30 and left a wife and daughter. The daughter Married the Lead Singer of Shinedown also from Jacksonville, Florida. for her wedding present her mom gave them the rights to the song and he recorded it. Is truly awesome as well.

    Skynard were one of those special groups. They jusd had "it."
    A vibe that defined them and amazing musicianship.

    I’m with Brad, playlists aren’t my thing. I grew up listening to albums all the way through and that’s how I still listen to music.
