Hit: 5 Stars
These guys were so good that you can bet your a*$#@ that they have real estate on one of those stars on the American flag by now. When I listen to this album (CD), probably once or twice a year, it only gets richer- and if I lived forever I'd miss them more and more each day. One of the finest albums to come out of the mid 70's- and that era produced it ALL, maybe the last great era. And it's a pure rock record with some country motifs. Forget the stupid Southern tag. I'm a Yankee and where I come from, we all loved this band, this album/some of Skynyrd's best fans hark from the Northeast according to Gene Odem. But also, I think that one hundred years from now, Van Zant will be a real Southern myth, spectral, living side-by-side with characters out of some of Old Dixie's finest Civil War ballads. And I love the reissued cover, with the angelic light over the singer's head.
Street Survivors has even kept a cynical New York rock critic alive in my book, Robert Christgau, who loved the original band. We all know the songs, the metaphors are visceral and sneaky, but the band is always playing on the edge here. I read that Tom Dowd basically rewrote the horn chart for "What's Your Name," advised on a few other things, leaving Rodney Mills in control. The ambiguity of "That Smell," which was retooled by ZZ Top for "Gimme All Your Lovin'"; the virtuosity of Gaines, co-writer of my favorite song: "I Got To Go But I Can't Stay Long (ha); but as Christgau hinted, with Gaines, the rest of the players really started to show their hand. And Ronnie: Fat Ed King was right about him all along- a genius, no doubt!
Street Survivors Poster
Lynyrd Skynyrd had already fulfilled a good deal of its promise on definitive Southern-rock albums such as Pronounced Leh-nerd Skin-nerd and the live One More From the Road when they stepped up their ambition a few more notches for this October 1977 release. Fueled by new member Steve Gaines, the Florida band produced its best album. Gaines, Gary Rossington, and Allen Collins interlocked on guitars as if they'd learned it all in the womb together, while singer Ronnie Van Zant came up with his most evocative lyrics yet. The shadow of death he detected on "That Smell" was closer than perhaps even he thought, however: three days after the record's appearance in stores, he was killed along with five others in a Mississippi crash of the group's tour plane. Street Survivors remains as a classic of American guitar rock. --Rickey WrightClassic Rock Music CDs
