Lynyrd Skynyrd

Lynyrd Skynyrd is the definitive hard-living, hard-driving Southern rock & roll band. Fusing the overdriven power of blues-rock, the kind of detailed storytelling skills often found in honky tonk country, the cocksure swagger of stadium rock, and a knack for pop hooks, they are equally adept at on-stage jamming and radio-ready singles like the quintessential AOR ballad "Free Bird." During the height of the band's popularity in the mid-'70s, they released a string of timeless classic rock standards including "Sweet Home Alabama," "Simple Man," "What's Your Name," "That Smell," and "Gimme Three Steps." After members of the band were killed in an airplane crash in 1977. Skynyrd re-formed in 1987 and spent the next few decades playing a steady string of live shows, even though the remaining original members of the band were no longer involved. No matter who was on-stage singing and playing, the group continued to crank out the classics to a dedicated following.
