Free Music Notes for The Essential Lynyrd Skynyrd [2-CD SET]
Free Music Review: its all good
Hit: 5 Stars
i'll make this quick this is probably enough l.s. for any but the most hardcore fans you get all the hits and some good deep cuts it all rocks and is well worth the purchase. that being said my only probelm with this set is that it doesn't include "dont ask me no questions" a song i love but it does in clude two versions of free bird. i would have liked to see them cut the 11:00 min version of free bird for the previously mentiond exclusion and maybe another live track from one more from the road like t for texas or something. but like i said this cd has most anything the casual fan could want and is well worth the buyFree Music Review: Metellica vs Skynrd?
Hit: 5 Stars
Why are people writing about Metallica and Skynrd. I bought Kill 'em All on vinyl the year it came out...love it. LA/Bay Area and the South are worlds apart. If you like Skynrd, then this is a great collection. If you don't, why even bother rating the product? Don't be the ignorant fool who says you either like the Beatles or the Stones. Music isn't a mutually exclusive descision. I won't say that someone who rates Appetite for Destruction and Nevermind as the worst albums ever is an idiot, but they are an idiot. Free Music Review: Loved it, Loved it, Loved it !!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I didn't think I was a Lynyrd Skynyrd fan but after listening to the CD I'm hooked. Free Bird (studio and the live version) was just awesome.
With all the hits it has on it, it is a great CD to have.
Free Music Review: One of the BEST!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of the best Skynyrd cd's out there. If you like Metallica then that explains you ignorance! Then again I'm sure you can't be older than 18. FYI...a true music lover loves ALL music, you're just a little boy who likes music.Free Music Review: A must for those just starting out on Lynyrd Skynyrd
Hit: 4 Stars
This 2-disc compilation of Lynyrd Skynyrd's library of songs is a very good collection of tracks for those just starting out on this most American of rock bands. Though Lynyrd Skynyrd may not have had the virtuoso guitar playing that The Allman Brothers band had (and which band does) or the heavy, southern blues-rock sound of Creedence Clearwater Revival, what they did have was the songwriting of its great frontman Ronnie Van Zant.
Lynyrd Skynyrd took the dueling lead guitar style pioneered by Thin Lizzy and perfected by The Allman Brothers Band's Duane Allman and Dicky Betts, and did them one better by having three lead guitarists in Allen Collins, Ed King and Gary Rossington. This gave Lynyrd Skynyrd a distinct overdriven blues-rock sound that when mixed with true Southern rock style made the band the definitive Southern rock band. This compilation includes their classic track "Sweet Home Alabama" and one of the most played power ballads (Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" being first and foremost) in "Free Bird" (both the album and even longer live concert version). Other tracks I'd like to point out are "The ballad of Curtis Loew", "Comin' Home", and "Simple Man".
This collection really doesn't have a bad track to it. It's a very good starting off point for anyone just starting to listen to this great Southern Rock band. Those needing to listen to the bands other songs would then be free to check out their full albums.
