Lynyrd Skynyrd at Mountain Winery

50 Years Of Lynyrd Skynyrd

It’s been half a century since Lynyrd Skynyrd dropped their iconic debut album, ‘(Pronounced ‘Lĕh-’nérd ‘Skin-’nérd)’ in 1973, and the world got a taste of that real, original Southern rock with face-melting singles such as ‘Simple Man’, ‘Gimme Three Steps’, ‘Free Bird’, and ‘Tuesday’s Gone’. Half a century later, and the rock juggernauts’ debut album is hailed on Rolling Stone’s list of ‘500 Greatest Albums of All Time’. Half a century of that raw Southern charm, emotional intensity, smoking hot guitar work, and harmonic power vocals. Half a century, and while most of the original line-up have passed on, their music won’t ever - it's timeless, classic, pure. 

Half a century? That definitely calls for a celebration - and what better way than hitting the road, bringing the classic band playing the classic hits to adoring crowds across the globe?
