Free Music Notes for Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-NerdFree Music Review: Pronounced Classic Hit: 5 StarsWhat can I say .. this is one of Lynyrd Skynyrd's classic CDs. A must for any collection.
Free Music Review: Southern rock ROCKS!!! Hit: 5 StarsWhat else can I say about Van Zant and Co.? Simply the best...
Free Music Review: Skynyrd's First Album Hit: 5 StarsIf you are into classic rock, southern rock, or country, you have to like this album. This particular CD comes with several bonus tracks that are some of (in my opinion) Lynyrd Skynyrd's best work. You need this album if you don't already have it. If you have a version of this album without the bonus tracks, this is still worth every penny.
Free Music Review: "FREE BIRD!!!!!!" Oh yeah, and the rest Hit: 5 StarsIf this album was just Free Bird and a bunch of steaming crap, I'd still have to give it four stars. Of course, the rest ISN'T steaming crap - it's a pretty damned good effort, especially for their first time out. A nice little mix of party-time rockers and introspective ballads, this is one of the ten most rockin'est albums of all time (most rockin'est doesn't necissarily mean "best", but there's a close conneciton). And here we go with the song-by-song breakdown...
1. I Ain't the One: 7.5/10. A fun rocker that starts the disc off in fine form. Yes, Gimme Three Steps has more punch, but whatever.
2. Tuesday's Gone: 10/10. A heartbreaking ballad with a great mellotron (or string, or whatever) arrangement and an unforgettable singalong chorus. All together now: "Tuesday's gone with the wind!" If it weren't for Freebird, this would be the best here.
3. Gimme Three Steps: 10/10. A bit of needed comic relief after Tuesday's Gone, this is some great sloppy barroom rock with funny, biting lyrics.
4. Simple Man: 10/10. Skynyrd's power-ballad, but don't worry, it doesn't suck like most other power ballads, thanks to Ronnie's great vocal performance.
5. Things Goin' On: 6/10. Eh. This has the look and feel of a Skynyrd classic, but in truth bores me. Not a bad song, though.
6. Mississippi Kid: 5/10. Hide me. I've got nothing against folk music, but it's not Skynyrd's thing. That mandolin sounds awful and totally out-of-place.
7. Poison Whiskey: 8/10. Another fun rocker with a great piano part.
8. Free Bird: Take a guess/10. There's a good reason why some idiot always shouts for this song at concerts. There's a good reason why it's a radio staple today. Some of the best guitar weaving in history is found during those last four minutes, though the ballady first five are awesome as well.
A good boozy, bluesy, raw rocker of an album.
Free Music Review: One of the All-time best studio albums! Hit: 5 StarsLynyrd Skynyrd is way more than "Freebird" and "Sweet Home Alabama"! This is their first official studio album that was under a major label. This is an all-time classic and has 5 all-time great songs: "I Ain't The One", "Tuesday's Gone", "3 Steps", "Simple Man" and "Freebird". The others songs are solid as well.
