His Daughter ~ Molly Kate Kestner
This is why I love the internet.
A talent like this can rapidly gain an international audience without some corporate middleman.
Listen to Molly Kate Kestner, a high school senior from Minnesota, perform an original song, “His Daughter.”
With a voice that shows more range than those of a lot of famous singers today, Kestner sings about a girl abandoned by her alcoholic father who’s looking for love in the wrong places, but eventually creates a family of her own. …

That’s the classic and controversial hit by Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd that first appeared in 1974.
“Sweet Home Alabama” was written as an answer to two songs, “Southern Man” and “Alabama” by Neil Young, which dealt with themes of racism and slavery in the American South. “We thought Neil was shooting all the ducks in order to kill one or two,” said Ronnie Van Zant at the time …
In 1976, Van Zant and the band supported Jimmy Carter for his presidential candidacy, including fundraising and an appearance at the Gator Bowl benefit concert.
At the peak of their success, three members of Lynyrd Skynyrd died in an airplane crash in 1977, putting an abrupt end to the band’s most popular incarnation.
related – Free Bird was Skynyrd’s greatest song. Perhaps the greatest live rock anthem of all time.
By the way, it turned out that Montgomery, Alabama is a great place. I have not a single complaint.
