Today I wanted to know Lynyrd Skynyrd (in photo).
Lynyrd Skynyrd may be recorded in the southern rock, a genre that was formed in the late sixties and seventies to the southern United States. This is usually a mix of blues, country and hard rock. Lynyrd Skynyrd began to have success in the early seventies but disbanded in 1977 due to a major plane crash that involved most of the band including singer and primary songwriter Ronnie Van Zant. But the band is
reformed in 1986 and the role of Ronnie Van Zant's younger brother took Johnny Van Zant. Lynyrd Skynyrd are still active but far far from the seventies of the components they are changed enough.

Finally here are three songs in my opinion great: the first is "Sweet Home Alabama" with those sounds very country and certainly the best known, then go to "Free Bird" song of 9 minutes with a solo final 3 minutes in my opinion the best in history if not the best, and conclude "Simple Man" song very melodic chorus with rocking.
