Van Zant is an American musical duo composed of brothers Donnie Van Zant and Johnny Van Zant. Both are brothers of the late Ronnie Van Zant, former lead singer for the Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd. Johnny became the lead vocalist for the reunited Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1987, and Donnie was also the leader and vocalist of .38 Special. Johnny recorded as a member of the 1980s southern rock band The Johnny Van Zant Band which released albums in 1980, 1981 and 1982. The band shortened its name to Van Zant for the release of its fourth album in 1985, the eponymous Van Zant on Geffen Records. This album saw chart success with "You've Got to Believe in Love" and "I'm a Fighter", both of which peaked on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.

Don't expect any Southern Rock here! But you should continue reading if you like Melodic Rock / AOR. This is one of the best albums of the genre that I know. Similar to Heart's self-titled 1985 album. Every track is a gem, including the single, "I'm A Fighter" - which is not so much representative for the album because the guitars are quite heavy, but still the vocals are melodic and the guitar solo is so much in the background that it is barely audible. The rest of the songs is dominated by Johnny Van Zant's vocals and synthesizers. The cover versions of 2+2 (RPM) and Does A Fool Ever Learn (Eddie Schwartz) are excellent. It is amazing how Johnny Van Zant's voice seems to be just made for this type of music - which has nothing in common with the albums from the Johnny Van Zant band, neither with the following Van Zant albums. Unfortunately this album did not get the attention and the success it would have deserved.
