If only for the impact of “Rock Around the Clock,” Bill Haley would deserve a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (he was inducted in 1987). Yet his impact in the early days of Rock and Roll went well beyond that milestone. Two years earlier he’d put out “Crazy, Man, Crazy” an original amalgam of country and R&B that arguably became the first rock and roll record to register on Billboard’s pop chart. For most of the ‘50s, Bill Haley was a presence on the record charts, and he appeared in several rock and roll movies aimed at teenagers. It is estimated that Bill Haley and His Comets have sold 60 million records worldwide.
Honoring the music of Ronnie Van Zant’s Lynyrd Skynyrd, featuring legendary Lynyrd Skynyrd drummer Artimus Pyle
More than just a “tribute” to Lynyrd Skynyrd, it is a tribute to the many that defined it. Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame member, Artimus Pyle has said, “If it wasn’t for Ronnie Van Zant, no one would know my name.” Since his departure from Skynyrd in 1991, Artimus Pyle’s career has led him down an amazing path of solo records and projects, culminating into one of the finest tributes to southern rock royalty. The Artimus Pyle Band is a high-energy, true to the music, true to the era, rock group.
