Search - Lynyrd Skynyrd :: The Collection

A collection of hits by the definitive Southern Rock band, who managed to blend gritty Blues-Rock, a touch of down-home Country with a Hard Rock edge and virtually created a new way to Rock 'N Roll! The band reached prominence during the 1970s under the leadership of vocalist and primary songwriter Ronnie Van Zant, until he died, along with guitar player Steve Gaines and backup singer Cassie Gaines in a plane crash in 1977 in McComb, Mississippi. Lynyrd Skynyrd was one of the most critically acclaimed Southern Rock groups of the 1970s, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 13, 2006. Their distinctive triple-lead guitar sound made their songs 'Free Bird and 'Sweet Home Alabama' American anthems and staples of FM radio.14 tracks.
