Speaking on Riff X's "Metal XS," Van Zant revealed, "We have songs that we wrote with Gary Rossington that we never recorded."
“You could hear him talking on the tapes and talking about lyrics and all that stuff. And Johnny and I started talking about doing — possibly doing — another Lynyrd Skynyrd record that included Gary's songs on it and stuff."
Rossington, the last surviving founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd, passed away on March 5, 2023. The band shared a statement on social media at the time, saying:
After a tragic plane crash in October 1977 claimed four band members, Rossington brought Van Zant on board ten years later to carry on the Lynyrd Skynyrd legacy.
"There's a lot of tribute bands out there to Lynyrd Skynyrd, but none of them holds it as dear to their hearts as the guys who have been there as long as we have," he explained.
"We have the history; I played on the first (recording) sessions. We just know that we have to portray the music with the integrity and the sound and the love as close as we can to when it was originally created."
