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.
