New Lynyrd Skynyrd Album Due Soon

After heading out on the road with Kid Rock for a second summer of the "Rock and Rebels" tour, Southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd will release a new album being recorded in Nashville right now. It will be the band's newest album of new material since their 2003 album 'Vicious Cycle."

The Loud & Proud/Roadrunner Records release will also mark the band's first recordings since the death in January of founding member Billy Powell, whose fluid piano runs spiced such classic Skynyrd songs as "Freebird," "Call Me the Breeze" and "Sweet Home Alabama."

Founding guitarist Gary Rossington is the only surviving original Skynard band member stilll playing with the group.

Skynyrd is heading back out on the road this summer with Kid Rock for a second round of their "Rock and Rebels" tour, reprising last summer's highly lucrative jaunt. The 22-date tour kicks off in West Palm beach, Fla., on June 26.
