The track appears on the group’s new Ryman Auditorium live album
Southern rock icons Lynyrd Skynyrd have released the music video for “Saturday Night Special” featuring Marcus King. The track is the latest release from the band’s new project, Celebrating 50 Years – Live At The Ryman, available now via Frontiers Music Srl
A celebration of the southern sound that changed rock forever, the live album and DVD spectacularly capture Lynyrd Skynyrd’s historic 50th anniversary concert at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium and features the final performance of founding member Gary Rossington, who passed away less than five months later.
The new album showcases the band’s unparalleled energy and their signature blend of blues rock and Southern hard rock swagger and stands as a celebration of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s lasting legacy in music history, filled with iconic hits such as “Freebird,” “Sweet Home Alabama,” “Simple Man,” and so many more. In addition to King, the new album also features guest appearances by Jelly Roll, John Osborne (The Brothers Osborne), Brent Smith (Shinedown), and Donnie Van Zant (Van Zant & .38 Special).
The band completed a European tour earlier this month and will kick off a North American tour on August 1st, which runs through the fall.
