Topic: Van Zant


  
  Background
Van Zant is owner and caretaker of Thunder Mountain Monument--five acres jam-packed with exotic folk art and architectural oddities that his late father created over a period of three decades beside Interstate Highway 80 in Pershing County.
Frank Van Zant, also known as Chief Rolling Mountain Thunder, described his roadside art park variously as a museum, a monument to the American Indian, a retreat for pilgrims aspiring to the “pure and radiant heart.” Many of his neighbors feared Van Zant; others revered him as a spiritual guru.
Van Zant’s three-story monument started out as a one-room travel trailer, which he gradually rocked over until it came to resemble Barney Rubble’s stone-age bungalow.

 ::: Van Zant :::
Still present are the searing guitars, pounding beats, prideful themes, and gritty vocals that the Van Zant brothers have been known for over thousands of shows, millions of records sold and countless hits as charter members of Lynyrd Skynyrd (Johnny) and 38 Special (Donnie).
So the Van Zants entered the studio last summer with some killer tunes, worked around their busy band schedules, and wrapped up around Christmas with a record that’s about as subtle as a shotgun blast.
And while Van Zant would love hit country singles and huge sales, one of the objectives of the record has already been reached for a pair of brothers that live next door to each other but whose professional demands severely limit their time together.
