Exclusive! Rickey Medlocke On His Top Southern Bands

Classic Rock video scoop! Lynyrd Skynyd’s Rickey Medlocke took time out from the band’s recent British dates to film this never-before-seen tribute to his favourite southern bands.

It’s 4 minutes 35 seconds of sheer suvvern delight as the super-cool Rickster name-checks Lynyrd Skynyrd (natch) and Blackfoot (double-natch), along with ZZ Top, The Allman Brothers, Blackstone Cherry and Blackberry Smoke. (Wot, no Molly Hatchet? – Ed.)

Thanks to Sami at Roadrunner/Loud & Proud for filming this for us.

Skynyrd’s latest album God & Guns is out now.
