It was at Hell House that Ronnie Van Zant crafted the lyrics for the band’s 1973 debut album, which featured the band’s signature hit “Free Bird.”
The spirit of Lynyrd Skynyrd lives – in a new whiskey called Hell House, named for the “nasty little shack” where “Free Bird,” “Sweet Home Alabama” and the band’s other rock classics were forged.
It was also at Hell House that band members would stand guard through the night after someone broke in and stole their music equipment, Van Zant’s younger brother, Johnny, told Side Dish in “It had just an old couch that my brother Ronnie sat on,” recalled Van Zant, who was 17 when his brother died at age 29. “They had their amps there and there were crummy curtains.” “Ronnie would leave the guys while they were rehearsing and go out on the dock to go fishing and write lyrics,” his brother said. “And all these great songs were written there.”It was at Hell House that Van Zant crafted the lyrics for the band’s 1973 debut album “Pronounced ‘Lĕh-‘nérd ‘Skin-‘nérd.
Van Zant’s lyric, “I hope Neil Young will remember. A Southern man don’t need him around anyhow” set off a long-running feud between the bands. Van Zant said the brothers listened to Young’s music. Johnny has attended his concerts but never met him — and would love to perform with him one day. “We’ve consumed quite a bit of whiskey, and we’ve bought just about every whiskey out there, and tried them all while on tour over the years,” said Van Zant. “We joked that one day we should try to make our own, but it never happened.”
