BraveWords.com has received the following press release:

American rock legends LYNYRD SKYNYRD are set to appear on the Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien (tonight) Monday, September 21st, performing their new single 'Simple Life', from the upcoming album God & Guns (out on Loud & Proud/Roadrunner Records on September 29th).

God & Guns is the band’s first full length studio album since 2003’s Vicious Cycle, and their first release on Loud & Proud/Roadrunner.

The untimely deaths of longtime keyboardist Billy Powell and bassist Ean Evans earlier this year brought sad and unexpected twists to the album’s recording process. The first rock single, 'Still Unbroken', reflects the true spirit of a band with a unique ability to power through tragedy and end up stronger than ever.

The video for 'Still Unbroken' (see below) has been added to VH-1 Classic, and the track continues to make impressive headway at rock radio. It is top 20 at Mainstream Rock and #1 at Classic Rock, already with spins on KDKB, KSAN, KSHE, KZRQ, WAXQ, WBSX, WDHA, WHJY, WLUP, WRAT, WRTT. The band has also shipped their first ever single to country radio with 'Simple Life'. The video will make its CMT and GAC premieres around album release.

2009 marks a key point in Lynyrd Skynyrd’s storied career. The band has enjoyed continued success and visibility in the past few years including a recent Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction. Their American rock anthem 'Sweet Home Alabama' has passed the 2 million mark in downloaded ringtones.

Their last single, 'Red White & Blue', reached #1 on the Rock Charts. This summer, the band co-headlined one of the most successful tours of the year on their second run with KID ROCK. High profile appearances, including the show closer at last year’s VH1 Fashion Rocks helped to expose the band to a younger audience. With a catalog of over 60 albums and sales beyond 30 million, Lynyrd Skynyrd remains a major cultural icon that appeals to all generations.
