Free Music Review: AN UNDERRATED SKYNYRD CLASSIC ! (amidst chaos and transition, Lynyrd Skynyrd rolls on)
Hit: 5 Stars
Lynyrd Skynyrd's Gimme Back My Bullets (1976) is the original band's one and only album with a two-guitar lineup, instead of the usual three. Guitarist Ed King left the group during their Torture Tour prior to the recording sessions and had yet to be replaced by Steve Gaines. Mostly, it was Allen Collins who stepped up to the plate for this album and, along with Gary Rossington and Ronnie Van Zant, wrote this collection of solid southern rock songs that includes several Skynyrd classics (Collins co-wrote seven of the album's eight original songs). Collins and Rossington also handle the added guitar responsibilities with no problem.
The songs include some of Ronnie Van Zant's most personal lyrics. The heavy touring and hard partying seemed to bring out a weary need to escape the craziness and keep the greedy cut-throat metropolitan world that he didn't trust at bay.
Roll Gyspy Roll:
Riding on a Greyhound, countin' those white lines
Destination I don't know and I'm feelin' like I'm dyin'
Well, ten years on this road, my it took it's toll
But the man with the plan says the band's got to go
All I Can Do Is Write About It:
And Lord, I can't make any changes
All I can do is write 'em in a song
I can see the concrete slowly creepin'
Lord, take me and mine before that comes
The title track and Searching are the most recognizable songs on the album, and both have become classics that are essential to the Lynyrd Skynyrd legend. Double Trouble is a great rocking tune that keeps the Skynyrd swagger in tact.
Eleven times I've been busted, eleven times I've been to jail
Some of the times I been there, nobody could go my bail
Well it seems to me, Lord, that this ol' boy just don't fit
Well I can jump in a rosebush and come out smellin' like...
A cool and funky version of J.J. Cales' I Got The Same Old Blues is included, and Every Mothers Son, Trust and Cry For The Bad Man are solid rockers with lyrics that follow the generally disillusioned and defiant theme of the album. Everything here measures up to the Lynyrd Skynyrd standard.
Gimme Back My Bullets is a solid Skynyrd album even though it sold less than the other albums by the original lineup. Of course, any Lynyrd Skynyrd album with Ronnie Van Zant at the helm is a classic, and is essential to any Skynyrd collection. I wouldn't start a Lynyrd Skynyrd collection with this one, but I most certainly wouldn't leave it out, either. And you gotta love this album cover with the rowdy group lined up and defiantly drinking cans of Coors beer, too.
Give 'em hell, Skynyrd!
