Some of the Sounds of the South...
With incredible early hits like "Free Bird" and "Sweet Home Alabama," the band seemed destined for incredibly lofty heights. Lynyrd Skynyrd burst onto the rock scene in the early 1970s. With the sudden and tragic death of some band members just a few years later the group was crushed; but their music lives on and countless people enjoy Lynyrd Skynyrd to this day.

The CD starts with "Sweet Home Alabama. " This number has an infectiously catchy melody and the guitars rock furiously on this number. "Sweet Home Alabama" was also the group's answer to Neil Young's song entitled "Southern Man. " "Sweet Home Alabama" remains a fine piece of music and it starts this CD off strong.

"What's Your Name" follows as the second track on this CD; again the melody draws you in as they play and sing about meeting pretty women with whom they can spend intimate time together. Excellent!

"Gimme Three Steps" tells the classic tale of a man caught flirting with another man's woman; this doesn't exactly sit well with the woman's boyfriend. The intro rocks hard and awesome with the intense three guitar jam; and in fact all through "Gimme Three Steps" the guitars are excellent. One thing about Lynyrd Skynyrd: their guitars always carried the arrangement perfectly. Not a bad trademark for a rock band, eh?

"Double Trouble" features a chorus as backup for the group; and "You Got That Right" rocks hard! "You Got That Right" lets Lynyrd Skynyrd play their music and sing of guys who just want to have fun. "You Got That Right" has a great beat to it, too.

Obviously, the crowning jewel on this all too brief album is "Free Bird. " The intro hinges on the guitars as always and serves as an immense announcement that a great song is about to begin. Somewhat philosophical about relationships and the desire to not be tied down to any one woman are highlighted in "Free Bird;" but the real treasure is the unparalleled guitar jamming that dominates most of this nine minute number after the lyrics end. This number may last nine minutes; but it's so darn good you'll feel like it was only nine seconds! GRIN "Free Bird" is an incredibly strong ending for this CD.

The liner notes give you a good essay about the history of the band written by Joseph F. Laredo. You get the song credits and a list of other Lynyrd Skynyrd albums out on CD.

Other reviewers write that this CD is not thorough enough and that it is too short. They are right. You may want to think of this as a budget CD for people who want to find out if they like Lynyrd Skynyrd music. This CD may also suffice for casual fans. True Lynyrd Skynyrd fans could never be satisfied without songs like Tuesday's Gone and Simple Man being included in the track set.

Therefore I recommend this for casual fans; and people who are brand new to Lynyrd Skynyrd and who want to see if they'll like their music will profit from this CD. True blue fans, however, should opt for more extensive compilations including the two CD set entitled The Essential Lynyrd Skynyrd and another two CD set entitled Thyrty: The 30th Anniversary Collection.
