Author: Contagious, Inc. November 28, 2024 Duration: 36:38

Iconic Southern Rock brothers Donnie and Johnny Van Zant reunite as VAN ZANT to release their first ever Christian album sharing about their faith that has been a constant thread throughout their lives. Collectively they have sold over 50 million records, from Johnny's work as the lead vocalist of Lynyrd Skynyrd to Donnie's success with 38 Special, and older brother Ronnie's posthumous legacy with Skynyrd as a founding member, they share how they balance honoring the past with creating fresh sounds in their first ever Jesus record titled "Always Look Up." The duo casually sits down with nine-time Emmy winner David Sams and shares heart-felt stories about music, legacy, and the enduring power of family bonds.
