Rickey Medlocke Shares Intimate Story Of Ronnie Van Zant’s “Simple Man” Journey

Nothin Simple About This Man

On board the Simple Man Cruise, a generous and caring Rickey Medlocke sits down with 4 lucky boys and their parents to spread his wisdom, talent and stories and it’s just the greatest. As an active member in his community with local bands, Rickey has always made sure to give back to the young artists as much as he can and in no way is this surprising.

Interesting Quote: “Ronnie Van Zant’s whole theory was play it over, and over, and over, and over and over again until you don’t even have to think about playing. You play it, and it happens.”

In this special clip, Rickey reminisces over the first time he ever heard Ronnie Van Zant sing “Simple Man” and it’s just something to take your breath away…

Sharing Ronnie’s personal thoughts on song writing and musical discipline, this short but sweet clip gives you a small glimpse into the brilliant mind we lost years and years ago…. Rest in peace…

We don’t want to give too much away so just watch and enjoy this incredible story!
