We got to cherish a greater portion of the Van Zant legend when Jimmie got on stage and pleasantly surprised us all by delivering what could be considered a full set. “We’re just wingin’ it tonight, okay?” he said, emphasizing how relaxed he felt, despite the fact that he had just flew into Nashville. His classic, gruff, southern rock musical personality shined through “100 Proof”, “Double Trouble”, “Reason”, and naturally, a spectacular cover of “Sweet Home Alabama” - which of course was especially appreciated from Jimmie’s mouth, considering it was made famous by his brother’s band Lynyrd Skynyrd. And where would a southern rock star be without his fully charged band? Dave and Tim led the way to sweet guitar dreams, amplified with Sarge on Bass, Jeremy on drums, vibrant Zee and Lo Lo providing background vocals, and a special fiddle appearance by Gary Sommers. We wish this electric troupe the absolute best during their visit in Nashville!
