Lynyrd Skynyrd is the definition of Southern rock. In fact, they put Southern rock on the mainstream scene. With a mix of blues and hard rock and anthemic Southern swagger, they dominated and broke boundaries. Their influence on the rock scene is huge, and they are appropriately celebrated. With 14 albums under their belt, the band is still as relevant as they were more than 50 years ago.
Lynyrd Skynyrd was first called My Backyard when the band formed in 1964. The establishing members were lead vocalist Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Gary Rossington, guitarist Allen Collins, bassist Larry Junstrom, and drummer Bob Burns. Five years after performing in small venues, they rebranded to Lynyrd Skynyrd. They then began to gain momentum at the start of the 70s. By 1973, they officially debuted their album "(Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd)." Their sophomore "Second Helping" was a stratospheric success. It put their name in the public's consciousness. The track from the album "Sweet Home Alabama" was their most successful. This song continues to be a staple of radio stations. A song that is considered to be a go-to when listening to Southern rock music. They were at the top of the rock scene right after this. However, a tragic plane crash halted the band's career. The disastrous event took the life of Van Zant, Steve Gaines, and backup singer Cassie Gaines. Right then, they released five albums, all of which were critically acclaimed.
In 1987, the band warmed up for a return. At first, it was intended as a one-time tribute comeback. Due to public demand, they decided to make their waited return official. Ronnie Van Zants brother, Johnny, decided to lead the band with the remaining past members. In 1991, their sixth album Lynyrd Skynyrd 1991 came out. It was celebrated by fans. The band's legacy continued. They released eight more albums, with "Last of Dyin' Breed" being the latest, which came out in 2012.
In 2005 the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their story was also turned into a musical and a documentary. The legendary rock band will perform at the St Augustine Amphitheatre on Thursday, October 5. You should not miss this!
