May 8, 2024 · Lynyrd Skynyrd was a 1970s American Southern rock band known for its triple guitars and gritty working-class attitude. The band’s classic songs include ‘Free Bird’ and ‘Sweet Home Alabama.’
- Free Bird. Album: (pronounced 'lĕh-'nérd 'skin-'nérd) Guitarist Allen Collins came up with the music to Free Bird very early in the band’s songwriting process.
- Sweet Home Alabama. Album: Second Helping. “I knew Sweet Home Alabama was a classic the minute we wrote it,” said guitarist Ed King, who was primarily responsible for the song’s music, most notably its defining riff.
- Simple Man. Album: (pronounced 'lĕh-'nérd 'skin-'nérd) Simple Man, co-written by Ronnie Van Zant and Gary Rossington, has become one of the group’s trademark songs.
- That Smell. Album: Street Survivors. Gary Rossington’s booze and drug fueled exploits inspired Ronnie Van Zant’s lyrics and this song’s dark, rumbling, highway-to-hell attitude – and made the Street Survivors sessions drag on.
