MY KIND OF COUNTRY - VAN ZANT
That veteran Southern rockers Johnny (Lynyrd Skynyrd) and Donnie (.38 Special) Van Zant are releasing their second country album should surprise no one. They didn’t come to country — country came to them. One only need scan the country charts to realize how much they’ve influenced today’s country sound. But the rock legends don’t rest on their laurels with this fine second effort. The title cut, which sings the praises of camouflage and Johnny Cash, is a down-home anthem, while “These Colors Don’t Run” is a proud testament to American patriotism. “We Can’t Do It Alone” is rocking affirmation to belief in a higher power, and the single “Goes Down Easy” is a feel- good thumper in the tradition of .38 Special.
