    Gary Rossington, the guitarist for legendary Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, has died at the age of 71. The band posted a statement confirming Rossington’s death on its verified Facebook account, though they did not specify a cause of death.

    Rossington was the last surviving original Lynyrd Skynyrd member and had been active in the band up until his death.

    “It is with our deepest sympathy and sadness that we have to advise, that we lost our brother, friend, family member, songwriter and guitarist, Gary Rossington, today,” the statement said. “Gary is now with his Skynyrd brothers and family in heaven and playing it pretty, like he always does. Please keep Dale, Mary, Annie and the entire Rossington family in your prayers and respect the family’s privacy at this difficult time.”

    I do believe, could be wrong, that he played lead guitar on this....

    Tuesday's Gone is my favorite song of theirs, for whatever that's worth.

    I can't argue against your choice. of that song.


    During their peak, they were a powerhouse.

    My other favorite is a JJ Cale song that they cover...and they do cover the hell out of it

    Call Me the Breeze





    Call me the breeze
    I keep blowin' down the road
    Well now, they call me the breeze
    I keep blowin' down the road
    I ain't got me nobody
    I don't carry me no load

    Ain't no change in the weather
    Ain't no changes in me
    Well, there ain't no change in the weather
    Ain't no changes in me
    And I ain't hidin' from nobody
    Nobody's hidin' from me
    Oh, that's the way its supposed to be

    Well, I got that green light, baby
    I got to keep movin' on
    Well, I got that green light, baby
    I got to keep movin' on
    Well, I might go out to California
    Might go down to Georgia, I don't know

    Well, I dig your Georgia peaches
    Makes me feel right at home
    Well now, I dig you Georgia peaches
    Makes me feel right at home
    But I don't love me no one woman
    So I can't stay in Georgia too long

    Well now, they call me the breeze
    I keep blowin' down the road
    Well now, they call me the breeze
    I keep blowin' down the road
    I ain't got me nobody

    I don't carry me no load

    I planned on posting in another thread, but will probably stick with this thread.

    At first, I though that this thread would be complete after just a few songs.

    That was wrong because they had more than just a few notable songs

    This makes me think of the Allman Brothers.

    RIP

    Lynyrd Skynyrd's transformation into the musical embodiment of the Ship of Theseus paradox is now complete.
