I grew up on Skynyrd, being that I grew up in Arkansas and the son of a southern man myself.
Skynyrd achieved phenominal success in the mid-1970s with hits like “Sweet Home Alabama,” “Free Bird” and many more. An unfortunate plane crash killed several of the founding members, leaving the band shaken. After a short break, the band got back to the studio and on the road with the remaining members and new additions.
While the people may be different, the band members now can bring the same sound to Tulsa, a sound familiar to those who grew up with the music or jammed with the hits in the 70s. I know a few of you have yelled “FREE BIRD” at a band in the past. Here’s your chance, though I’m nearly 100 percent sure they would hate that. So, better not.
