lynyrdskynyrd.jpgJam!Music Reports that Florida and Detroit are quite a distance from each other, but it appears that Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd and Kid Rock are basically long lost brothers.

And according to Lynyrd Skynyrd's lead singer Johnny Van Zant, this current jaunt with Rock called the Rock N Rebels tour was not a question of if -- but simply when.

"Man, we've known Bobby (Kid Rock's name is Robert Ritchie) for a long time," Van Zant drawls from an Indianapolis hotel. "Actually, he was the one who helped Lynyrd Skynyrd get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We had done shows with him where we did two nights in Detroit with him years ago, which was great.

"So everything is good man, everything is great."

But perhaps the biggest asset Van Zant sees by teaming up with Kid Rock is the wide range of ages appearing at the shows.

Well, that and a certain other demographic.

"Well we have a lot of little kids at our shows anyway but I can guarantee you this -- he opens us up to a lot of girls," Van Zant says with a laugh.

"Last night I was getting an eyeful, I was like, 'Wow!' No complaints there, he definitely attracts the women."
