Hey there Skynyrd Nation! Have you heard about the new Skynyrd tribute album coming out next month? Sweet Home Alabama -- The Country Music Tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd is a collection of classic Skynyrd songs covered by country artists.

Johnny Van Zant was quoted talking about the tribute in a recent interview with Billboard.com saying, "It's all these young country bucks doing Skynyrd songs, which is pretty cool to us…It gives me great pleasure, because they're doing older stuff...my brother wrote while he was still alive. People still love that stuff. They did what he did. He was a poet for the common people, and it's always great when other people are interested enough to re-do the songs."

The tracks on the tribute include:

"The Ballad Of Curtis Loew" - Eric Church "Simple Man" - Randy Houser "All I Can Do Is Write About It" - Uncle Kracker "Call Me The Breeze" - Shooter Jennings "Four Walls Of Raiford" - Jamey Johnson "Tuesday's Gone" - Randy Montana "Gimme Three Steps" - the Eli Young Band "Sweet Home Alabama" - Ashley Ray

The album will be available exclusively at Walmart on July 20.
