Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man

Song: Simple Man

Album: (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd) (1973)
"Simple Man" is one of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s most iconic tracks - an emotional, stripped-down Southern rock anthem. The song’s raw lyrics and guitar solos make it a timeless classic. Shinedown later released a powerful acoustic cover that brought a new level of intensity and emotion to the song.
