It’s poured into “I Ain’t The One”, “Simple Man”, and every record since. Because before the first record deal, before the first studio session; there was the Hell House.
A small cabin for rent, down on the creek became the foundation of America’s Southern rock band. From the first lines scribbled down, to the last note played, we see the Hell House as the bedrock of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Rich with a story. Smooth as a memory. Simple, and for all.
