Based on interviews with surviving band members, \u003cem\u003eWhiskey Bottles and Brand-New Cars\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chicago Review Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781613738771\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.70w x 0.80d","brand":"Mark Ribowsky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36662138437788,"sku":"9781613738771","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_eaf67518-2d15-4cbd-b69f-f3fcd294fe09.jpg?v=1603901166","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/whiskey-bottles-and-brand-new-cars-the-fast-life-and-sudden-death-of-lynyrd-skynyrd-9781613738771","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
