    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.....

    “Tuesday’s Gone”, “The Ballad of Curtis Loew” and “That Smell” is a song after a car accident and they were starting families, they were getting sick of the drinking and the drugs. 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. Yes they reformed and started to Tour again I did see them in concert with my son in 2007, but it wasn’t the same for me.
