Van Zant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Van Zant is an American country rock duo composed of older brother Donnie and younger brother Johnny Van Zant. Both are brothers of the late Ronnie Van Zant, former Skynyrd lead singer. The band released their first album, titled Brother to Brother, on CMC International in 1998. Their second album, Van Zant II, was issued in 2001, followed by their first country album, Get Right With The Man, in 2005.
Johnny became the lead vocalist for the reunited Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1987. Donnie is the leader and vocalist of the American rock band .38 Special.
Their first album, 'Van Zant' was released in 1985 with powerful FM rock tracks that rivaled most of the 80's hard rock acts. The album, long out of print, was re-released in CD form by UniDisc.
Having found success with their third album, Get Right With the Man, the group has so far released three music videos for the CD which have seen considerable airplay on GAC and VH-1 Country: the singles "Help Somebody", "Nobody Gonna Tell Me What to Do" and most recently "Things I Miss the Most." Other videos are in production.
The Sony DRM controversy began with an investigation of an installation of the CD Get Right With the Man.[1]
Van Zant performed with Gretchen Wilson in the summer of 2006 on the Redneck Revolution tour.
