Southern rock legends Lynyrd Skynyrd are releasing a live album recorded at late founding guitarist Gary Rossington's final live show.
Celebrating 50 Years - Live At The Ryman was recorded at the Ryman Theater in Nashville in November 2022 on the band's Big Wheels Keep On Turnin' Tour, just five months before Rossington's death at 71.
At the Ryman, Rossington joined the band for the sixth song of the set, That Smell, and remained onstage until the encore, Freebird. Other guests on the night included rapper and singer Jelly Roll – who can be seen in the video for Tuesday's Gone, the first single from the album – as well as Marcus King, John Osborne (The Brothers Osborne), Brent Smith (Shinedown), and Donnie Van Zant (Van Zant and .38 Special).
The album, which will be released via Frontiers srl on June 27, will be available on 2CD/DVD, Blu-Ray and double LP. The DVD and Blu-ray editions will also include a documentary, Celebrating 50 Years of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Lynyrd Skynyrd's 50th anniversary tour is currently on the road in the US, and reaches the UK in July. Support at the UK shows comes from Blackberry Smoke.
