Free Music Notes for Gimme Back My Bullets
Free Music Review: 4 3/4 stars. Excellent expanded edition
Hit: 5 Stars
The 1999 expanded edition of Lynyrd Skynyrd's fourth album added two bonus tracks, a decent live edition of the title track and a great live "Cry For The Bad Man". And this 2006 deluxe edition adds another four bonus tracks plus a terrific seven-track DVD issue of Skynyrd's November 1975 appearance on the Old Grey Whistle Test.
The original nine-track album was met with somewhat lukewarm reviews back in 1976, and wasn't a big succes commercially either. Dunno why. I have all six albums by the original Skynyrd line-up (the five studio albums and "One More From The Road"), and I would take this one over "Nuthin' Fancy" and "Street Survivors" any day. Great musicianship, and the material is almost uniformly excellent.
And this deluxe edition would pretty much have been a must-have for diehard Skynyrd fans even without the additional CD bonus tracks. The DVD features a generous handful of tight, hard-hitting performances...one or two may feel a little too tight, acutually, a bit more looseness and swagger wouldn't have been out of place. But it's still a great opportunity to see Skynyrd performing during their peak years. They do a terrific "I Ain't the One", a rollicking "Sweet Home Alabama", and a swinging "I Got The Same Old Blues", and fans should also delight in the wonderful acoustic "All I Can Do Is Write About It" on disc 1. Crisp and clear, and just about better than the original.
The only real minus about the DVD is the somewhat mediocre sound quality, which keeps it from being truly great. As it is, it is only really good.
All in all, this is a fine, fine purchase for Skynyrd fans. Newcomers won't want to start with a deluxe edition, of course, but you'll get here...

THE CLASSIC ALBUM - EXPANDED WITH BONUS TRACKS & A DVD FEATURING PERFORMANCES FROM 1975 APPEARANCE ON OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST!PACKAGE HIGHLIGHTS:

Six Audio Bonus Tracks Including 2 Previously Not Released Commercially
First DVD Of Entire "Old Grey Whistle Test" BBC-TV Performance
New DVD Liner Notes, Plus Complete CD Reissue Notes
Other records from the late, great, and original Lynyrd Skynyrd were more barroom raw (Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd), indelibly rocking (Second Helping), and radio-ready (Street Survivors), but none was as endearing and cohesive as Gimme Back My Bullets). The 1975 LP, whose title referred not to ammunition, but to the Billboard term "#1 with a bullet," found the normally three-fisted Florida guitar army one axe short. But it allowed Gary Rossington and Allen Collins to work more intuitively on the songwriting chores with vocalist Ronnie Van Zant, while providing room to groove in the process. The results, though underrated in the band's epic pre-crash catalog, sweep into rock ("Trust," Searching"), blues ("I Got the Same Old Blues"), folk ("Every Mother's Son"), and country ("All I Can Do Is Write About It"). This deluxe edition includes alternate takes and live cuts. It also includes a bonus DVD featuring seven songs from the band's November 1975 performance on the BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test. The crystal-clear video shows Skynyrd in all their grandeur: raucous and polished, scorching and compassionate. And lights-out loud. --Scott Holter
