Free Music Notes for Skynyrd's First: The Complete Muscle Shoals Album
Free Music Review: Bare Bones Skynyrd
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is not for the casual Skynyrd fan. This is a bare bones recording, without the layer upon layer of production "finishes" that often take away from the raw power of the music. This set has that raw power. It is as close as you can come to sitting in the studio with the original Lynyrd Skynyrd. You'll hear 'Free Bird' in its infant stage, a scorching version of 'Gimme Three Steps' and 'Was I Right or Wrong' and a heart wrenching 'Simple Man'. The double axe attack of Rossington and Collins is simply awesome. Buy this CD, sit down with a Jack on the rocks and let the music take you back to the early '70's to that recording studio with Ronnie and the guys. It is well worth the price for this trip!Free Music Review: A great historical album.
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is really good for a few reasons. For one, it gives insight into the evolution on Lynyrd Skynyrd and two, the music is really good. The guitar work is excellent. I've always thought that Gary Rossington and especially Allen Collins were really underrated and they turn in virtuoso performances on this great album. It shows how much the band wanted to make it. Jimmy Johnson was really complimentary of the band in the liner notes and Ronnie Van Zant's vocals, although his style changed a bit by the time of their debut, are very good. This is a must have for any Skynyrd fan but more importantly, the gritty guitar work and great song writing will appeal to any fan of blues-rock music.Free Music Review: Little Old Band From Jacksonville
Hit: 5 Stars
There are probably a bunch of people who think skynyrd is from Alabama because of "Sweet Home Alabama." But I think this album should clear up that little misconception. These guys made some great music in that old recording Studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama adn it is all captured in this album. The original versions of many songs including "Free Bird" and "I Ain't The One" are on the album. If you've never heard the original version of "Free Bird" don't you think it's about time. If you don't have this album go out and buy it right now. What are you waiting for? Are you a true skynyrd fan?Free Music Review: Skynyrd as you've never heard them before
Hit: 5 Stars
If you're a Skynyrd fan, you'll really like this CD. It's stripped of a lot of fancy production value, but in a good way. Hear them in a raw and natural way, at the beginning of their career. Its obvious from these early songs that they were destined for greatness. The sound quality isn't that of a regular cd by a big lable, but its perfectly acceptable and dynamic enough for what this is. If you're not a big fan, pass on it and buy one of their later CD's, but if you already have Ponouced, Second helping, Bullets, or others, you'll enjoy this very much. No disappointment here.Free Music Review: cd-heaven's got a point...

Cd-Heaven stands corrected. If you really wanted to, you could do like we did in the old days and put down your own mix of songs on tape, I.E. put down this record on tape and add the missing two from best of the rest. And if you're really lucky and have an 8-track recorder (like me) then you can really play around with it, though you wouldn't have the room for many of the songs. Some activities (like doing mixtapes) never go out of style. Only problem is being able to find decent blanks anymore.
