Two years later, the band shortened its name to "Rossington" and released a second album, ''Love Your Man''. After a 28 year hiatus, the album, ''Take It On Faith'' was released in November 2016.

Blues Rock
Blues rock is a fusion music genre that combines elements of blues and rock music. It is mostly an electric ensemble-style music with instrumentation similar to electric blues and rock (electric guitar, electric bass guitar, and drums, sometimes with keyboards and harmonica). From its beginnings in the early to mid-1960s, blues rock has gone through several stylistic shifts and along the way it inspired and influenced hard rock, Southern rock, and early heavy metal music, heavy metal.

The Rossington-Collins Band

The band included two other surviving members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Billy Powell and Leon Wilkeson. The band wished to develop their own sound rather than being regarded as a reformed Lynyrd Skynyrd, and toward that objective they hired a female lead vocalist, Dale Krantz, who later married Rossington. The Jacksonville-based band released two albums before disbanding in 1982. Their biggest hit, "Don't Misunderstand Me," charted in late 1980.

Leon Wilkeson had suffered internal injuries that initially made doctors declare him dead at the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
