Customer Reviews More Great Unreleased Skynyrd If you loved the boxed set or the unreleased cuts on SKYNYRD'S FIRST, you'll love COLLECTYBLES. COLLECTYBLES gives you more unreleased Lynyrd Skynyrd songs- some in several versions, no less, putting it in a tie with EDGE OF FOREVER, VICIOUS CYCLE, TWENTY, LYVE FROM STEEL TOWN, LYVE 2004, and THE LAST REBEL for the second-best Skynyrd release of all time. Great material from the Greatest Southern Rock Band EVER! If you're a Skynyrd fan as I am, this is a must. This compilation provides an insight into the inner workings of one of the greatest rock bands of all time. I bought this one for Ronnie Van Zant's last recording "Jacksonville Kid," but soon began to appreciate the other cool stuff on here. Of course, I can't ever get enough of Free Bird. Everybody tell me, what song is it you want to hear?. could be called Box Set #2.... But then Collectybles was released, and for the tracks it has, I think it's excellent. When I got the Skynyrd Box Set five years ago, I thought I pretty much had it all. Highlights include: Memphis- Well, I like it alot for an unfinished track; I even think of it as a tribute to Leon, just listen to his bass on the mid-section. Woman of Mine- Also has good bass by Leon, plus great guitar parts. I Never Dreamed- a really good alternate version, perhaps a tad better than the issued take? Jacksonville Kid- Great alternate lyrics; this song should dispel any doubts one has about Steve Gaines. all in all a great compilation. .
