Brothers Johnny (Lynyrd Skynyrd) and Donnie (38 Special) joined together over twenty years ago to delve deep into the family’s country-tinged roots and formed Van Zant. The two were inspired by the fact that their late brother, Ronnie, spiritual leader, original lead vocalist and chief songwriter for Lynyrd Skynyrd, had always wanted to do a country record. “Let’s do it for him,” avowed the brothers. Red White & Blue Live is a recently unearthed live Van Zant show recorded on January 28, 2006 in Valdosta, Georgia. It is the only concert recording in existence from the only tour by the brothers.
