Nothing was easy for us coming up. But we were rich in family.
From Johnny Van Zant
We didn't grow up rich people.
I think it's just that Skynyrd songs are timeless.
'Free Bird' is timeless, 'Sweet Home' is timeless. They're just timeless songs.
I think people relate to Skynyrd; it's a working class band. They're just songs with messages. To this day, there's never been a song written that didn't have a message.
If it wasn't for Al Kooper, there might not be a Lynyrd Skynyrd. He's the one who found us at Pinocchio's in Atlanta, Georgia, and signed us to Sounds Of The South through MCA, brought the band to attention.
We always pay tribute to what the old Lynyrd Skynyrd has done - I'm very proud of that.
Not every song of Lynyrd Skynyrd's was a single, but songs like 'Tuesday's Gone' and 'The Ballad of Curtis Loew' and 'Made in the Shade,' 'I Need You,' people learned those songs from the radio because radio played albums, not just singles.
