LYNYRD SKYNYRD Members Talk About 35th Anniversary Of Street Survivors On In The Studio


Rarities





On a new episode of In The Studio, LYNYRD SKYNYRD's Gary Rossington
(guitar) and Johnny Van Zant (vocals) talk about the 35th anniversary of
the band's landmark album, Street Survivors. Check out the chat here.





In one of the most tragic events in rock history, three days after
the album's release, on October 20, 1977, the band's chartered airplane
crashed en route to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, killing the pilot, co-pilot,
the group's assistant road-manager and three band members (Ronnie Van
Zant, Steve Gaines, and Steve's older sister, backup singer Cassie
Gaines), and severely injuring most who survived the crash. The album
peaked at #5 in the US (their first top 5 album), as did the singles
'What's Your Name' and 'That Smell'.
