In a recent X Radio interview, Johnny Van Zant discusses the duo's first single "Help Somebody," which is currently winging its way up the charts: "It's a great song and we loved it. It hit us, emotionally...the first time we heard it...When you (sing), you got to feel some kind of emotion, some kind of passion... and hopefully that will transform into listeners feeling the same kind of emotion that we did."

'Get Right with the Man,' described as "hard-edged guitar riffing, chip- on-shoulder feistiness, and celebrations of Southern pride" in an early Amazon.com review, is out today on Columbia Nashville.
"Southern rock and roll royalty combined with the best country music of today." - Scott Lindy, SIRIUS Satellite Radio
