Free Music Review: THE LYNYRD SKYNYRD BIBLE !
Hit: 5 Stars
This is sacred ground for Lynyrd Skynyrd fans. An historical document, this is the real deal by the real thing. Forget "best ofs", "essentials", "greatest hits", whatever. If you want one Skynyrd album, and only one, THIS IS IT! This is the people's band, playing their best loved songs for the people. On southern soil (Atlanta, Ga.). The essence of everything Lynyrd Skynyrd is, was or will be. Most of these songs sound better than their studio counterparts. I've always preferred this version of "Free Bird" (much more emotional than the also great studio version). Ronnie Van Zant is at his best, and with the addition of guitarist Steve Gaines, this is the band at it's peak, and in it's element. Don't miss this one!
Free Music Review: America's Best Rock Band
Hit: 5 Stars
The Amazon review describes Lynyrd Skynyrd as a "redneck Led Zeppelin." There's some truth in that: Zep was the best rock band to come out of Britain, while Skynyrd was America's best rock band. Unlike the Allman Brothers Band (whose fans have seen fit to show up here talking trash), Skynyrd created a sound that was truly unique, fusing rock, blues, gospel, country and even a touch of jazz into a sound that was at once accessable and identifiable. This album was one I had as a kid, and it's unfortunately as close as any of us will get to seeing a real Skynyrd show. How unfortunate that the band felt too pressured to let the planned filming of the shows go on! I'd encourage anyone who thinks this band was only "Free Bird" and "Sweet Home Alabama" to explore the rest of their music. Lynyrd Skynyrd is a benchmark against which all American rock bands can be measured, just as Zeppelin is for British rock, from the depth of their musical style and influences to their impact on the players who grew up in their wake. One last word, for this goofed-up PeeCee world: The Rebel flag wasn't anything racist when they flew it. It was simply a declaration of southern pride, during a time when the American south was popularly perceived to be of little consequence, culturally or otherwise. Dig up "Second Helping" and listen to "The Ballad of Curtis Loew" if you don't believe me; that type of ballad is written about one's heroes, and racists don't tend to have old black blues players as heroes.Free Music Review: Mushroom Heads: Stay Home
Hit: 5 Stars
Are Allman Brothers fans so insecure about the status of their band that they desperately need to hype them by jumping headings to trash a Skynyrd album? Judging from the review by Kevin C. Boyd, apparently so. Comparing Skynyrd with the Allman Brothers is like comparing the Beatles with the Stones: they are two uniquely different groups. That does not mean that one is any better or worse than the other. To look at either group in such a simplistic way totally misses the point and demeans both bands. Skynyrd would be the first to admit that their fore-Brothers and "Live at the Fillmore East" were one of their main inspirations. That hardly relegates Skynyrd and "One More From The Road" to the automatic third-rate status Mr. Boyd dogmatically condemns them to. Where the Brothers were a great ensemble who used a song as a jumping off point for inspired open-ended jams that pushed the boundaries of the music, Skynyrd were great autobiographical songwriters in the mold of the Beatles, who focused their musical energy into precise, incendiary live performances that showcased their brilliant anthems of the common man. In his diatribe, Mr. Boyd totally misunderstands Skynyrd, while blindly deifying the Brothers. Skynyrd's powerful performance on "One More From The Road" no more invalidates the Allman's classic "Live at the Fillmore East" than does the Allman's landmark recording negate Skynyrd's legendary live album. To dismiss Skynyrd's performance on "One More From The Road," simply because of your own personal bias for the Allman Brothers, Mr. Boyd, is preposterousFree Music Review: Skynyrd could be the Greatest of all time!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a must have in your CD collection. By far one of the greatest live CDs I have ever bought. The triple guitar threat can not be beat!!! Steve Gaines, Al Collins, & Gary Rossington ripped it up on every song. They added new guitar fills in majority of the songs that you can only hear on this CD. Will for sure take you back to the Southern Rock Days. I would not pass up this deal. 2 CDs of non stop rock-n-roll. Will not be upset with this buy.Free Music Review: Best Live album I've ever heard...
Hit: 5 Stars
Lynyrd Skynyrd was at their best in this live album.
Steve Gaines was a great addition to the guitar lineup.
His talent put Skynyrd on a brighter pathway and I recommend that you get the Street Survivors CD.
Steve wrote and sang several songs on it.
It just makes me sick to think about what could have been from Lynyrd Skynyrd if the plane crash had not occured.
We miss you...Ronnie, Steve, Allen, and Leon I hope all of you are re-united in heaven.
