Van Zant Returns with First Christian Rock Album, "Always Look Up"

Led by Johnny and Donnie Van Zant, the Brothers Announce Their Christian Rock Debut

In a surprising turn of events, Van Zant, led by Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Johnny Van Zant and his brother, 38 Special’s Donnie Van Zant, have announced their return with their first album of Christian rock. Titled "Always Look Up," the album features the previously-released track "Jesus Christ" along with new release "There You Are." The LP, which follows 2007’s "My Kind of Country," arrives on November 22 via the Frontiers label and is available for pre-order now.

The Album’s Concept and Inspiration

In a statement, Johnny Van Zant shared his personal journey and the inspiration behind the album. "I’ll be honest… the Devil was my best friend at one time," he said. "[T]here ain’t too much that I didn’t try over the years, but I always kept hearing our dad speaking the Bible… Our dad should have been a preacher because, boy, when he started talking the gospel, you didn’t get up and move." He added, "I always believed in Jesus Christ, but I wasn’t saved… I felt like I had my personal connection, just like the song ‘It’s Up to You’ that’s on this new album. Over the years, that voice of my dad was reminding me to try to be a better person. I made lots of mistakes… [H]opefully I don’t get to the pearly gates and they’re closed for me. I’m trying to get through them now!"

Donnie Van Zant’s Perspective

Donnie Van Zant reported that the idea of a Christian album had long been a bucket-list entry for the brothers. "We’ve tried our very best to just write about truth, about people, about problems and situations and just try to be true to ourselves," he said. "We try to touch people emotionally and spiritually. If we can do that, I think we’ve done our jobs."

Track List and Release Date

The album’s track list is as follows:

  1. "Awesome God"
  2. "Stand Up"
  3. "Warrior"
  4. "There You Are"
  5. "Speak His Name"
  6. "Why God Brought Me Here"
  7. "Praying"

  10. "Leaning on the Cross"
  11. "Jesus Christ"
