Rolling Stone 100 Greatest Artists - Rated 95/100!
180 Gram Vinyl! 12th Studio Album! Guest Artist - Black Crowes Former Member - Johnny Colt!
Last of a Dyin' Breed is the twelfth studio album by American southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd. It is the first Lynyrd Skynyrd album to feature Johnny Colt (former member of The Black Crowes) on bass, and also features guest guitarist John 5 (former Marilyn Manson guitarist).
When asked about receiving a phone call from Rickey Medlocke on behalf of Lynyrd Skynyrd to join the band, Johnny Colt said, What else do you say to Medlocke, Rossington and Van Zant? Were talking southern rock royalty. Were talking Lynyrd Skynyrd. The only thing out of my mouth was when and where!
This is the bands first studio album since the September 29, 2009 release of God & Guns which debuted at #18 on the Billboard Top 20 and gave the band their highest debut since 1977. Last Of A Dying Breed reunites the band with producer Bob Marlette who produced God & Guns.
With a catalog of over 60 albums, sales beyond 30 million worldwide and their beloved classic American rock anthem Sweet Home Alabama having over two million downloaded ringtones, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Lynyrd Skynyrd remains a cultural icon that appeals to all generations. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked the group No. 95 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
It was great to get back in the studio with Bob for this new album, said Gary Rossington. We kind of went back old school this time. All of us playing together in the studio as a band, tracking songs and creating licks. We had a lot of fun and the music really flowed for us, so thats when you know you are on to something good. We cant wait to let the fans hear these songs and play em live.
