Red White & Blue
Description
The Van Zant clan from Jacksonville, Florida has been called The First Family
of Southern Rock. Over the years, the Van Zant family’s recordings have
unquestionably impacted both fans and contemporaries alike on a worldwide
level, among multiple generations. Brothers Johnny (Lynyrd Skynyrd) and Donnie
(38 Special) joined together over twenty years ago to delve deep into the
family’s country-tinged roots and formed Van Zant. The two were inspired by
the fact that their late brother, Ronnie, the spiritual leader and original
lead vocalist and chief songwriter for Lynyrd Skynyrd, had always wanted to do
a country record. “Let’s do it for him,” avowed the brothers. Red White & Blue
(Live) is a recently unearthed live Van Zant show recorded on January 28, 2006
at Wild Adventures Theme Park in Valdosta, Georgia. It is the only concert
recording in existence from the only tour by the brothers. From the exuberance
on crowd-pleasers like “Takin’ Up Space” and “My Kinda Country” to the
heartfelt message of their big Country Singles chart hit “Help Somebody”
(which hit 7 in 2005) to the butt-kicking versions of 38 Special’s “Wild Eyed
Southern Boys” and Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Call Me the Breeze” and “Sweet Home
Alabama,” the Van Zant brothers are clearly firing proud and true on all
cylinders. One of the most telling lines from the title track, “Red White &
Blue” — a song the Van Zants wrote but first appeared on Lynyrd Skynyrd’s 2003
album, Vicious Cycle — is, “We’re trying to sing the truth to you.” That line
alone encapsulates exactly why the Van Zants have always had such a deep
connection with their audiences. The Van Zants’ significant contribution to
southern rock, country and popular music across the board have created an
unparalleled legacy. They may even be The First Family of American Music. It
doesn’t get any more Red White & Blue than that.
