I dont mean any disrespect to any of the van zant brothers, or anyone who has posted for that matter. Only in my opinion Jimmie sounds more like Ronnie than either of his brothers. In saying that I'll also say I absolutely love Brickyard, one of jhonnies best songs, but I can hear Ronnie more through you than anyone...thank you

@koolaid6777 - i don't believe there's any disrespect...

i tend to agree.

Jimmie è un cugino di Ronnie, Johnny e Donny, la canzone proviene dall'omonimo Jimmie Van Zant Band del 1996 che naturalmente si può trovare ..... a casa mia da più di dieci anni. Il DNA è più che buono..

Jimmy, thank you for this song, a fitting tribute to Ronnie and the man. He would be proud. Thanks for the memory of hearing and meeting you guys at our reunion. Chap and Dave are your biggest fans, don't get much better than that.

I love this! But wow it pulls at my heart so much, makes me wanna cry! Ronnie was so awesome and this song is a great tribute, Jimmie ! I can't imagine being related to Ronnie and how much more painful his dying was on them because just being his fan is painful enough...

It'Not the best song I've ever heard, But I like ita LOT besause unlike a certain other family member, this dude shows respect to a great man, instead of feasting from the flesh of his bead bones.

I like the Rossington Collins guitar solo, a whole lot.

Best wishes to all the family.

Thanks Jimmie! The song you wrote says a lot to some of us who never got the farm cause we were the third or fourth son. stuff omitted . This gets us back to the present - the newer Van Zandt contributions, I feel, will rank with the other music tributes to our Southern existence that guide us in a "southern man don't need him around anyhow" or "hold on loosely" kinda way. The Van Zandt kind of Southern Rock takes us third-son-no-farm folks and inspire us to stand up and be free birds.
