<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This intimate story of Lynyrd Skynyrd tells of how a band of lost souls and self-destructive misfits with uncertain artistic objectives clawed their way to the top of the rock 'n' roll world. Based on interviews with surviving band members, <em>Whiskey Bottles and Brand-New Cars</em> shares how lead singer and front man Ronnie Van Zant guided the band's hugely successful five-year run and, in the process, created not only a new country rock idiom, but a new Confederacy in constant conflict with old Southern totems and prejudices. Placing the music and personae of Skynyrd into a broad cultural context, this book gives a new perspective to a history of stage fights, motel-room destructions, cunning business deals, and brilliant studio productions. It also offers a greater appreciation for a band whose legacy, in the aftermath of their last plane ride, has since descended into self-caricature.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An excellent look at a band whose creative evolution was tragically cut short." --<i>Booklist</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Mark Ribowsky</b> has written 12 books, including widely praised biographies of James Taylor, Tom Landry, Howard Cosell, Phil Spector, and Satchel Paige.
