  • Lynyrd Skynyrd: La Tràgica Història D'una Llegenda Americana
    It's only rock & roll | Pep Saña | Actualitzat el 12/10/2016 a les 18:41 Lynyrd Skynyrd: La tràgica història d'una llegenda americana Lynyrd Skynyrd amb The Allman Brothers Band, uns amb un estil més contundent i els altres amb una configuració més jam, son la màxima representació i el sant grial de l'anomena't ?Rock Sureny?, gènere que es caracteritza per barrejar la música country, el blues i el soul amb el rock'n'roll (en els Allman s'hi ha d'afegir el jazz), d'una manera singular. Lynyrd Skynyrd a més, va utilitzar imatges de l'orgull sureny per crear un estil (a més del musical) únic, barrejant rock potent amb arrels de country i blues. La banda de rock sureny definitiva, amb una imatge ?outlaw? rebel i la iconografia del rock. Estenien (encara ara ho fan) una gegantesca bandera Confederada a l'escenari, i abans de començar el seu xou tocaven ?Dixie?. Quan s'escolten bandes d'aquest estil musical, sobretot les de la dècada dels 70, com Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers Band, 38 Special, The Outlaws, Marshall Tucker Band o ZZ Top, son posseïdors d'un segell particular (crec que és un do especial, que es porta dintre), que els diferència de les altres bandes claus de l'època Juntament amb artistes com els Allman Brothers i la Charlie Daniels Band, van ajudar a convertir al rock sureny en un gènere musical propi. Els orígens de Lynyrd Skynyrd es remunten a 1965, quan els companys de l'escola secundària Ronnie Van Zant, Gary Rossington i Allen Collins van començar a tocar junts amb el nom de My Backyard a Jacksonville, Florida.

  • City of Jacksonville, Florida
    WHEREAS: In 1964, a group of Jacksonville teenagers - Ronnie Van Zant, Bob Burns, Gary Rossington, Allen Collins and Larry Junstrom - formed a band they called My Backyard; and WHEREAS: After numerous local and regional gigs and a few different monikers, the group finally settled on the name Lynyrd Skynyrd, a mocking tribute to their former gym teacher at Robert E. Lee High School, Leonard Skinner; and WHEREAS: By 1973, the band had achieved national recognition following the release of its debut album, (pronounced 'leh-'nerd 'skin-'nerd), which featured the anthem "Free Bird"; and WHEREAS: Furthering its status as a pioneer of the Southern rock genre, Lynyrd Skynyrd's sophomore album, Second Helping (1974), included one of the band's biggest hits, "Sweet Home Alabama"; and WHEREAS: On October 20, 1977, tragedy struck when three band members died in an airplane crash, including founding member Van Zant. A decade-long hiatus followed; and WHEREAS: When Lynyrd Skynyrd announced a reunion tour in 1987, it included Van Zant's brother, Johnny, as lead singer, and five former members of the band, including one founding member, Rossington. The reunited group continued to make music, releasing nine more albums through 2012; and WHEREAS: On May 4, 2018, Lynyrd Skynyrd embarked on the "Last of the Street Survivors Farewell Tour." The band makes a last stop in its hometown, Jacksonville, on September 2. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LENNY CURRY, by virtue of the authority vested in me as mayor of Jacksonville, Florida, do hereby proclaim September 2, 2018 as LYNYRD SKYNYRD DAY in Jacksonville and recognize the band's historical and indelible impact upon our city, the Southern rock genre, and music as a whole.
