IT HAS been said that the commercial demise of southern rock began with Lynyrd Skynyrd s tragic airplane crash in 1977, which killed two members of the band, including frontman Ronnie Van Zant. It was a sad time for the genre for sure, but a handful of acts kept the confederate flag flying, refusing to succumb to such desolate times. Best news of all was that two members of the Van Zant family rose to the challenge of survival by firing up some of their best work; namely .38 Special s Donnie Van Zant and little bro Johnny, of the self monikered Johnny Van Zant Band. Last Of The Wild Ones , originally issued in 1982, was the JVZ Band s third studio album and finds the them returning to a more authentic sound, a style in keeping with their highly praised debut album, paying less heed to commerciality and more attention to traditional 70s style southern rock. It also marked the return of veteran producer Al Kooper, a man who not only discovered, signed and produced Skynyd but also sat behind the recording desk of the debut JVZ Band album. Sharper, more concise and rougher around the edges than their second album, Last Of The Wild Ones takes no prisoners, leaping out of the speakers all guns blazing. With brother Donnie co-writing half the album, this is truly a joining of forces and a serious statement of intent.

CD Description
Special Limited Deluxe Collector s Edition / First time on CD / Fully remastered sound shaped from 24 BIT digital technology / Classic Southern Rock / 12 page full colour booklet 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork, memorabilia, rare photos and new interview with Johnny Van Zant and band. THERE S NO getting away from it, the name Van Zant carries an awful lot of cache in the world of rock. It s a crown worn proudly by three men, namely Lynyrd Skynyrd s Ronnie, .38 Special s Donnie and. Johnny, who fronted his own band prior to stepping into the shoes of his late brother Ronnie in the irrepressible Skynyrd. Johnny s first introduction to the spotlight was through the Johnny Van Zant s Band debut album, No More Dirty Deals , a rough and tumble southern rock blowout that helped to establish him - and his band - as serious contenders. Getting back into the ring, their second album, titled Round Two , was originally released in 1982 and produced by Skynyrd s live soundman Kevin Elson. The sound and material takes its cue from the great southern rock records of the 70s, turbo-charged with a solid dose of contemporary melody, bringing to mind the best work of .38 Special. Of course, Johnny s vocals are immediately recognisable and massively impressive but a doff of the cap must be reserved for the guitar work of Erik Leif Lundgren and Robbie Gay, two men intent on delivering fire-cracker riffs and stinging twin lead guitar. Also featuring contributions from Journey s Steve Perry and Jonathan Cain, Round Two remains a lip smacking slice of the southern rock pie.
