Skynyrd Start New Album

The follow up to God & Guns is almost written

In an interview with Billboard frontman Johnny Van Zant revealed that the band would be hitting the studio in a couple of months to start recording the follow-up to 2009's excellent comeback album.

"We're getting about to the end of the writing part," Van Zant said, pointing out the familiar terrain of the new material. "If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. We write about things that we've done or things that have happened to people around us. It's for the common people, people who have made this great country of ours. That's what the heck I say we always write about.

"It looks like we're going to push it back to November because we're gonna go out and do some more shows with ZZ Top," Van Zant said. "It's a good year so far; everybody's healthy and we're getting a lot of work. So we'll probably take to it in November and then probably take off the middle and latter half of December and come back in January and finish it off."
