Re: Lynyrd Skynyrd - The original band

Skynyrd was such a great band, probably at the forefront of the southern rock genre

Undoubtedly death and tragedy take the marrow out of bands like LS, but if only for respect, I have always followed them and their music!

The original Skynyrd are IMO one of the best bands ever to grace the stage, their recordings are timeless and will never fade. Also I am ok with the more recent line ups I have a couple of cd's "1991" and "The Last Rebel", they are fine works and the times I have seen them they have put on a great show. I try hard not to compare them to the old band just acknowledge the music as a tip of the hat to a great legacy.

Looks good Eberg. It's a solid summary of their rise and demise....and then rise again...sorta.'


Also I've been really enjoying "Saturday Night Special" lately for no particular reason other than it just being good.

In some, rather strange ways, Second Helping kind of gets overlooked for many of the terrific songs on that album, imo. I do think many people know that SWA is an excellent song, and on this album, but I Need You, Don't Ask Me No Questions, Workin' For MCA are superb songs that I've enjoyed for many years. Although of those three songs, Workin' For MCA was included within the live shows, and also is great!

Me too! and one of the songs I mentioned above, too!

Re: Lynyrd Skynyrd

I can't pick a favorite off of that album.. I actually just picked it back up and started listening to it a lot again.. but Ballad Of Curtis Lowe has been a favorite for a long time, Call Me The Breeze, Swamp Music is absolutely awesome, and a song I overlooked before.. Needle and the Spoon..
