Dolly Parton Featuring Lynyrd Skynyrd “Free Bird”

In case you missed it, Dolly Parton released her highly-anticipated “Rock Star” album yesterday, and as expected, it’s absolutely fantastic.

I’ve been cherry-picking a few of my favorites, and I have to say her version of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Classic Rock stpale “Freebird” is one of the best tracks on there.

Her voice goes perfectly with the Classic Rock/Country vibe, and if I die, I want this played at my funeral, ok? Or memorial service, or whatever.

Yeah, that’s morbid, but I like to plan ahead.

Anyhow, here’s her stellar version of “Freebird” featuring Skynyrd on back-up vocals:

So, so good.

Here’s another gem from the album- Dolly taking on Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” with Lizzo and Sasha Flute:

Dolly’s voice is perfect for the Classic Rock Ballads.  I’ve really been enjoying these the past 24 hours.

Once again, Dolly for President!

Jelly Roll and Lynyrd Skynyrd “Simple Man”

Jelly Roll is pretty much owning the 2023 Music Scene. His latest single “Need a Favor” is on Country, Rock AND Top 40 radio right now, and he’s garnering lots of viral moments in concert lately, including his duet with Lynyrd Skynyrd on their classic “Simple Man” at a recent show in Jacksonville.

Check it out below:

Pretty flipping cool, right?

I’ve seen Skynyrd several times live, and they always bring it. Seems like Jelly Roll does, too.

I’m really excited to see where Jelly ends up next. You have to admit, his music is great, and his story is hella inspiring.

I’m hoping for more real artists like him in the future!

Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribute at CMT Music Awards

Last night my husband and I were watching the CMT Music Awards, and I ended up going to bed a little early. It was a long weekend, and I was just done.  While I was getting ready to fall asleep, my husband had to run upstairs and tell me that I missed a badass performance (Of course I did) featuring lots of legends doing a tribute to one of my favorite Classic Rock bands Lynyrd Skynyrd.  I had thought I missed it, but apparantly not!  So I had to look up the performance, and damn.

I mean, Slash, Billy Gibbons, Paul Rodgers, Cody Johnson, Warren Hayes, Chuck Levall,  Wynona Judd and LeeAnn Rimes?

Hell. Yes.

Having seen Skynyrd several times, and always enjoying the show they put on, this made my heart happy.

Also, Slash. And Cody Johnson. That’s all you really need right there.

Sadly, after the recent passing of Gary Rossington, there are no original surviving members of the band.  But their legend will live on.

There will always be someone yelling “Play Freebird” until the end of time, so there’s that.

Seriously, though, loved this!  Good call, CMT.

Rock and Country is ALWAYS a good mix!
