Free Music Notes for Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd
Free Music Review: Skynyrd Totally ROCKS!
Hit: 5 Stars
My dad bought me 'Second Helping' for christmas one year, and I coundn't get enough. I had to buy this one and all of the other Skynyrd albums too. 'Freebird' is southern rock at its greatest, 'tuesday's gone' is a great ballad, 'gimme three steps' is really good , and 'simple man' may be some what slower, but is still hard drivin' rock n' roll. The way they blend in the mandolin on 'Missisipi Kid' is great, and 'I ain't the one', and 'poison whiskey' are good rockin' songs too. here's all the songs rated.1. I ain't the one (4 stars)
2. Tuesday's Gone (5 out of 5 stars)
3. Gimme Three Steps (4.5 stars)
4. Simple Man (5 out of 5 stars)
5. Things goin' on (4.5 stars)
6. Mississippi Kid (4 stars)
7. Poison Whiskey (4.5 stars)
8. Freebird (10 out of 5 stars)
The demo Mr. Banker has some awesome slide guitar, and 'Down south jukin' is good too.
If you're a skynyrd fan this cd is a definite must have.
Free Music Review: Skynyrd = Southern Zeppelin?
Hit: 5 Stars
This Great Band has Been called the "Sounthern Version of Led Zeppelin"I think this means that they were both Revolutionaries...
Either way, I will compare this album to Led Zeppelin...
First, They are both in Fact... Great
If you like Led Zeppelin and/or like country, you will probably like this...
This album is alot like Zep's first in that it is alot of the same music... Zep's First was Bluesey... This is Rock with a Twang...
But it just sounds Right, and they hit the right spot and Stay there...
Freebird is basically Skynyrd's Version of Stairway to Heaven, not that they sound alike at all... but, they are alike in that they are both the best thing ever to come from their respecting bands, and they are both over 8min, but the cool thing is... YOU JUST DONT CARE!
Highly Reccomend this and all Skynyrd Albums... Rock on
10/10, A+, 0 things bad... whatever!
Free Music Review: A classic among classics!
Hit: 5 Stars
Pronounced by Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd, is one of the greatest albums ever made its as simple as that! Every song here is a classic! This is Lynyrd Skynyrds best album ever, hands down! Not a weak moment. Even the demos of 'FreeBird' are good!'Freebird,' well what can you really say about it? Its one of the greatest songs ever made! Amazing lyrics, great slide guitar at the beginning, and the guitar solo! Oh my God the guitar solo is just....its...just damn insane is what it is! ITs over the top and more. Its got build and everything a solo should have its just great.
Dont get me wrong all the other songs on the album are great two but its kinda hard to stand out when you are on the same album as 'FreeBird'
Free Music Review: Southern Rock that everyone, even Neil, loved
Hit: 5 Stars
A Southern Man needs this kind of music. I heard it back when they played for free at Georgia Tech in '72. I saw them back up the Who's Quadrophenia Tour at the Omni in Atlanta - Skynyrd was a worthy successor to a generation of great rockers even when they took the stage first. Their music had soul, the kind that you just don't hear on the radio these days. If you want a taste of something similar and maybe a little bit rawer but just as good, check out the Drive-By Trucker's Decoration Day. And I don't get anything for that referral except the pleasure of the music being spread around. Long Live Skynyrd, they surely did create music that I still love to play to this day (and please, don't scream FreeBird at some half-crap band that doesn't hold a candle to these guys...even in fun it's disrespectful to these guys).Free Music Review: ONE OF TRULY THE GREATEST...
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is a rock perfection. All of the songs sound incredibly fresh, considering that it was released in late 1973. among all other rock giants with their complex studio polishing, and Lynyrd Skynyrd was totally anonimous band (from south).When I first heard this album (it was my first Skynyrd record), just after few listenings I made a state that this is best rock'n'roll album of all time. Ofcourse, you can't pick just one album as the all-time best, as there are a few dosens of them.
And this one is ofcourse one of them. It shows what's the rock'n'roll all about. It's not just southern rock (though influences are obvious) - it breaks throug the very essence of rock music.
The fact that this album, although their first, sounds so perfect, is because these guys heve been together for a long time before making this record, and was playing gigs around and rehearsing this songs. So they new exactly what sound are going to lay down. And it came out perfect, indeed.
This album is all: hard rock, southern rock, blues, bluegras even folk. It is pure and honest music with simple yet efective and beautiful lirics, like in "Simlpe man" (one of personal favourites). Also we get a big dose of humour in songs like "Gimme three steps" and "Poison whiskey", delivefed with great riffs. No need to point "Freebird" as one of most requested rock song in rock history, along with Zep's "Stairway to heaven", and deservely so. I could write a whole review just about "Freebird" and its trademark Skynyrd guitars. Ofcourse, I must mention "Tuesday's gone" as not great but PERFECT ballad rock song, almoust a prototype.
This Exspanded edition is worth the money if nothing, just for "Mr.banker". Slide guitars and weeping lyrics&vocals are pure pleasure. And it's paricular interesting to listen demo version of "Freebird" where you can hear Allen Collins breaking string at the beginning of solo, and the band carying on further without him and then with lead guitar again as he replaced the string, and bringing the song to fiery conclusion.
So, this is as classic rock as you can get; everyone should own it.
For those who aren't familiar with Skynyrd and like rock music (in genneral) this is great place to start your Skynyrd collection. Get this and be blown away... If you won't, you obviously don't know what's rock music about.
