Lynyrd Skynyrd Concerts Schedules With Kid Rock
rowena on Apr 1st 2009
Ronnie Van Zant, Allan Collins, and Gary Rossington were high school friends, and they decided to create a band during the 60s. They started a band called My Backyard, and then they recruited bass player Leon Wilkeson and a keyboard player named Billy Powell. They changed their name to Lynyrd Skynyrd as a jibe to their high school coach (Leonard Skinner), who regularly hassled them because of their long hair. Having picked up drummer Bob Burns, they started playing all over the South. They were signed by MCA after Al Kooper caught their show at an Atlanta club, Funocchio’s, in 1972.
In 1973 they released their self-named debut album, after picking up former Strawberry Alarm Clock guitarist Ed King. This album produced ‘Freebird’, which received heavy radio play and garnered their first national exposure. The song was a tribute to the recently deceased Duane Allman, and has become one of the most popular and recognized songs of the era.
