"Twenty" is the eighth studio album by Lynyrd Skynyrd released in 1997. The title of the album is due to the memory of the plane crash in which killed the original singer and the guitarist. The name "Twenty" refers to 20 years ago when the accident happened.

For this album the band brought in two Southern rock veterans, Rickey Medlocke, who had been a drummer for the band briefly before forming Blackfoot, and Hughie Thomasson of The Outlaws. The track "Travelin' Man" is the first studio recording of a song from the original band's 1976 live album "One More From The Road." Making use of modern technology, the band were able to use original singer Ronnie Van Zant's vocal tracks on parts of the song, in order to create a duet between Johnny and Ronnie. The Album Cover is a fictional drawing of Monument Valley on the Navjo reservation.
