Donnie Van Zant, one-third of a musical family whose legacy includes Southern rock legends Lynyrd Skynyrd, .38 Special, and the country-rock duo Van Zant, isn’t one for going.
My Kind of Country is the fifth and last record issued by the duo Van Zant. Released in 2007 by Columbia Records. The album peaked at No. 10 on the Top Country Albums chart. It also includes the singles “That Scares Me” and “Goes Down Easy”, both of which charted on Billboard Hot Country Songs.
