Formed in 1964 in Jacksonville, Florida, the band is celebrated for its Southern rock sound, characterized by a blend of rock, blues, and country influences. Their music often features powerful guitar riffs and storytelling lyrics. The band gained fame in the 1970s with hits like "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Free Bird."
