Van Zant

The musical dynasty known simply as Van Zant built its foundation firmly on family, and considering Donnie is a co-founder of .38 Special and Johnny took over leading the legendary Lynyrd Skynyrd after the passing of their brother Ronnie, fame has frequently followed. But throughout their four decades of climbing the southern rock and country charts together and separately, faith has stayed just as important of a factor in the equation, so much so that the guys decided to finally share their inspirational side with their new single, "Jesus Christ". Says Johnny: We didn’t come from wealthy backgrounds and I think that’s kept us grounded…When you ask what we would want our legacy to be, I think that we were good, hard working, God-fearing people. Ronnie was the master of writing for the common people, the hard working and God-fearing people. We just try to carry on his legacy. He was the one who started this, Donnie came in and kicked butt and I’ve been tagging along for years (laughs). Hey, you know what, when it’s all said and done, hopefully they were some good old southern boys!”
