Free Music Notes for One More From the Road
Free Music Review: Even better than it was 20 years ago
Hit: 5 Stars
I had this on LP in 1977 it was great then. It's even better now!Free Music Review: Great classic "live" album admits to overdubs to fix mistakes
Hit: 4 Stars
I want SO much to love this album. It was one of the all-time great live releases from the seventies. Arguably still is...but, in reading the new liner notes, the legendary producer Tom Dowd blatantly states, "...we decided to clean it up [ the Fox multi-track tapes ] in a few places. Ronnie touched up some of his vocals and we redid the girls on one or two songs. Allen also wanted to make another pass on his 'Free Bird' solo..." This may seem like very small potatoes to a lot of people, but a true live recording contains NO overdubs ( added tracks or repaired ones ). I don't kid myself that it doesn't routinely happen ( admittedly it would be too tempting, given a twenty-four track recording, not to fix a bum guitar or vocal note here and there )...but how can Ronnie have said, after the Fox shows, "We decided immediately to do an honest live album...no overdubbing..." having just come from doing overdubs in Miami a month after the Atlanta concerts? Interestingly, Kansas recently rereleased its classic live album, Two For the Show, with two band members clearly stating that no overdubs of any kind were done...what is heard is exactly what went down at the concerts, "Warts and All". These Skynyrd tracks remain white hot in enthusiasm and intensity...an occasional wart or zit would merely add to the authenticity of the album for me. And yes, I've flogged this horse long enough! Just be aware, live album purists, that this one technically never was. The irony, after all these years, lies in one of the highlights of this new release being Allen Collins' original lead guitar solo from "Free Bird" ( I've only very recently learned that he overdubbed it on the seventies release ). I'll close this review with another quote from the new liner notes: "...when you hear [ Al's ] original solo, you may wonder why he wanted to do those 29 retakes". A resounding "Amen" to that!Free Music Review: This could have been the Best
Hit: 4 Stars
First off, this is worth buying just because of the rarity of a live performance. This is one of the best live rock bands to ever pour whiskey on stage (more on that later). These guys were the warmup band for The Who until The Who noticed that people were leaving before they came on. Flat out, one of the alltime American rock bands. They cover some songs on this album that are not on any studio albums. What is disappointing is that this could have been even better. The sound mix sounds like the guy mixing it got far too loaded as the concert went on, and the mix gets worse as it goes along. In addition, the band got completely [drunk], and as the concert goes on, their playing suffers. At one point, Van Zant can't remember the words to a song, and you can hear one of the backup singers say "Whiskey, Baby". It's still a great album, but so disappointing that they were not at their best due to pouring down a few hundred gallons of booze.Free Music Review: apples and tomatoes

what a review by the abb freak. to say that LS is a third rate band and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, is a discredit to all southern. being a fan of both bands, this O M F T R is a great albumn. i do have one problem with it, though. where is " T FOR TEXAS" ? how can you listen to the LS version of T for Texas and say that they cannot slip the slide? i would say the abb fan has a couple of michael jackson lp's hid in his secret place, wouldn't you? FREE PALESTINE!

Free Music Review: Capturing the essence
Hit: 4 Stars
Lynyrd Skynyrd's "One More From the Road" captures the bands innovative sound live during the group's ascendancy. Their following during this time became more than a "cult" following and after having played on the road for years, their sound became tight and smooth. They could replicate the studio sound quite easily with some improvisation to boot.
