For two brothers who sing for Lynyrd Skynyrd and .38 Special, it's not surprising that when they say "My Kind of Country," as they do on their second album together, they mean country music pumped up with Southern rock. It's also not surprising that Johnny and Donnie Van Zant would fit into the current Nashville scene, considering how country music often sounds like classic rock these days.
As with their first album, "Get Right with the Man," the brothers stick to a few themes: rowdy living, patriotism, family bonds and Southern pride. The down-home stance works best on the hard-charging "Train" and the catchy "Goes Down Easy." Also, the rock-influenced ballad "The Hardest Thing" captures a rural morality that stretches from blue-collar workers to their bosses.
