LYNYRD SKYNYRD’S BILLY POWELL UNDERGOES EMERGENCY SURGERY
Nashville, TN – Billy Powell, one of the original members and keyboard player for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame members Lynyrd Skynyrd, has underwent an emergency partial revision hip replacement surgery in Jacksonville, Florida on Wednesday, May 21.
“Billy's hip had continued to give him dislocation problems and it was determined that a revision was the only possible solution,” says Lynyrd Skynyrd manager Ross Schilling of Vector Management.
Billy will be recovering over the next 3-6 weeks and will have to wear a hip brace for the next 3 months. It is expected that Billy will re-join Lynyrd Skynyrd on tour sometime in July. The band will tour with an interim keyboardist in the mean time, while Billy recovers.
I saw the Skyrnrd Concert last night and it was AWESOME!. I wish Billy was there, i bet it would of been better. Who's the guy replacing him for now?
Also, there is this lady that has guitar lessons right after me in which I speak too sometimes, when she saw me wearing a Skynyrd shirt, she told me that she was the cousin if Billy, i thought that was cool.
Anyway, I hope Billy gets better.

Kid Rock, Peter Wolf, Lynyrd Skynyrd Raise the Roof at the Garden
Last night at Madison Square Garden, Kid Rock brought his Rock and Roll Revival Tour north of the Mason-Dixon for a crowd-pleasing review that included guests Peter Wolf, Reverend Run and Lynyrd Skynyrd, who were playing the Garden for the first time in their forty year career. Click below for photos and stories from last night’s gig.

You know, I used to hate Kid Rock, but know Im really liking his music. Its very southern sounding and bluesy, im soo glad he moved away from the rap rock crapola. SKYNYRD SHOW IN A WEEK

GREAT PICS, thanks for sharing

I'm not sure what any of this has to do with Skynyrd or Southern Rock but yes, it is a cover. Bob Dylan also did it (as well as many others). There had to be someone that was the first to do the song but some tunes are labeled "Public Domain" after they've been around for a certain length of time. Either that or the credits mention something about a Traditional Arrangement. It the current artist makes any changes to the original composition their names are usually noted as well. At least I'm pretty sure that's how it works.
You can read more about the origin and history of the song here.
It had do do with the South, in the video he says this song came from the deep south of America.

Is the song "In My time of Dying" by Led Zep a cover or what? because on the live dvd, Robert states that this song came from the deep south of America. It may not be a cover, but it could be one of those songs that there were many artists that did their versions and had no true original artist to claim rights to the song, kind of like "Black Betty".

One thing I have noticed about all muscicians and band members is the way they die. Ive noticed that a very high percent of them die from plane crashes, drugs, and suicide. Now, most of the original Skynyrd crew died from the plane crash. Has anyone else noticed this also?

I just received Second Helping for my birthday today, ITS AWESOME!!

I would of done many things to see a show from the original Skynyrd. I hope those memories are still there. I am still lookin forward to the Lexington show though.

Thanks for the kind words ally.
A few years ago the music press had a field day writing about the "resurgence of Southern Rock". At the helm were the Drive-By Truckers, Kings of Leon and My Morning Jacket as well older acts such as Gov't Mule. Of course nearly all of those bands denies any sort of Southern Rock influence and says they're not "Southern Rock" at all. Kinda comes with the territory, at one time or another even the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Molly Hatchet tried to distance themselves from the Southern Rock tag. I think Gregg's quote was something like, "wouldn't it be sorta like calling it 'Rock Rock' since rock n' roll pretty much originated in the South?"
In regards to the debt a lot of current country music owes to Southern Rock, I most definitely hear it. I mean, they didn't pair Skynyrd with Gretchen Wilson at the Grammys a few years ago for no reason. Same for the CMT Crossroads special Skynyrd did with Montgomery Gentry. Thing is, if today's country music is the heir apparent to Southern Rock, it's not the type of Southern Rock I like. Like so many forms of commercial music it suffers a great deal from a pre-packaged, market-tested sound that simply doesn't appeal to my ears.
In regards to Little Feat, they're one of my all time favorite bands but I have never once thought of them as ""Southern Rock". Same for groups like Foghat who also sometimes end up on Southern Rock compilations.
I know what you mean bye "its not the southern rock I like" Ive said this before, I guess people of today think of country when they hear southern rock, but I guess ill guess ill have to start saying Southern blues rock. I dont like country music, and I hate that "modern" southern rock is labeled that way.

whats southern swagger? do you hold the 8th notes longer!
The image of the band, and the confederate flag and all

I not making a joke, but isn't southern rock today is just called country. All of the country bands today play a little bit heavier, and they use alot of the old riffs and chord progession from the 70's. like i said, im not making a joke.
Id have to give that one a big no-no. Country is not rock, there is country rock, but country is not rock. Southern rock from the 70's is basically blues-rock with a southern swagger and a TINGE of country. The Allmans were all blues-rock, Skynyrd had a little country in them, ZZ top also all blues-rock. Sure there were some southern rock artists that had alot more country in them like Charlie Daniels and the Kentucky Headhunters which kinda swung both sides, they were country, yet they had some blues/rock in them, and were from the south.
Im kinda an "afficianado" of this subject

Im more in to the blues Skynyrd which is pretty much the old skynyrd, the new skynyrd's songs and stuff are more country, escpecially with Van Zant goin on, im not a country fan, but i liek the Blues, and i do enjoy the little bit of country in some of their original albums.
-
Same here, Im goin to see the post crash Skynyrd, but I wouldnt buy their albums, i just go to see Gary and Billy and enjoy the pre crash music.

Im goin to the Skynyrd concert on May 30th in my hometown of Lexington, KY, and ITS GONNA BE SWEET.
The only thing that could be better is if Ronnie and the rest of the gang where there =(
