Southern Rock Mastepiece

All I know is that this is one classic album with so many classic tracks, it almost looks like a greatest hits package an it's their debut. I'll keep it short, since I am far from an expert on Southern Rock.

The thing that always strikes me as amazing is how heavy a song like "Simple Man" is, it is so similar to the "power ballads" that so many bands would include in the late 70's and even moreso in the early 80's. And this track is to me so much stronger and powerful than most of the ones that bands (most not southern rock at all) would churn out album after album to release after a fast paced rocker. All those 80's bands would include a song (or two).

Just one great band, and one great album.


Skynyrd's Rembrandt
Set aside for a second the huge hits if you can on this album though it covers half of the album 5/8 of the songs. Every song on this cd is as good as the other. Mississippi Kid is a great southern/whisky bar style feel to it and sounds just as good as the monster hits the same can be said for Thing's goin' On, and I Ain't the one. . . . . . . . . . If you want a true southern rock classic album / just a flat out great rock album this is a must have in your collection. Also one I might add will see reoccurence in the stero or cd player. It certainly has in my case and I am a fan of every genre of rock.

1.
2. Tuesday's Gone
3. Gimme Three Steps
4. Simple Man
5. Things Goin' On

10. Down South Junkin' (Demo)

This album cd was produced by the "Yankee Slicker" himself, Al Kooper, the MCA talent scout, who discovered Lynyrd Skynyrd performing on Peachtree Street, in downtown Atlanta, in the very early 1970's. This is a great cd, and a "must-have" for any serious Skynyrd fan, and I'm a fan to the "bone". Buy one, and enjoy it. It's good from beginning to end!!!.


Excellent
There is no reasonable explanation to give this anything but 5 stars. This is an incredible album. Which suggests that if this is the yardstick for a 5 star album, the bar has indeed been set very high. Some other albums that are worthy of 5 stars would be Pink Floyd's The Wall, Led Zeppelin IV, and Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell.

If you think about the caliber of these albums you will reach the same conclusion that I have; there are far too many 5 star albums here. Most of what people are 5 staring should in reality be 4 stars.

One thing I don't care for on this reissue is the inclusion of the "bonus tracks". This is true of most reissues it seems. Don't get me wrong re-mastering an album is great but I'm a stickler for authenticity. I want to hear the album as I remember hearing it back when it first came out. Added extra cut's kind of ruins things here. More content does not equal better.


Gimme 3 steps
THis is like an early Greatest hits album because it is so good. Ok maybe not 3 steps but maybe 3 lines to write a review. I wish I could have seen the original band together. But this album has lived on for many years after their passing. I think it is well worth purchasing; or you could just try to catch some of these tunes on your local classic rock station.
