Lynyrd Skynyrd "1991" Re-issued"/ "Re-visited" = An Outstanding Historical Album of New Material, after the Plane Crash = A1+!!!
This is the "RE-ISSUED" verson. This was Lynyrd Skynyrd's first release of new material after that fateful plane crash of 1977. The original was released in 1991, and it was certainly a welcome release. Now, this "NEW-RELEASE" (2009 release), is another "WELCOME" release. Now it can be RE-ENJOYED!!! It consists of 11 songs. Most of them are "hard-rocking" songs. The song Mama (Afraid to Say Goodbye) is more gentle. It is apparently a tribute song to the life and death of one of the member's mother, but I'm not sure which one.

I remember when this album was first released in 1991, fans were glad to get an album of all new material, since the pre-plane crash album "Street Survivors". Lynyrd Skynyrd did re-unite in 1987 to do a tribute tour, and they released a live album based on previous released songs, with Johnny Van Zant singing. This was the "Southern by the Grace of God', Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribute Tour. Also, between 1977 and 1991 you did have the Rossington-Collins Band. However "Lynyrd Skynyrd 1991" was ALL BRAND NEW "LYNYRD SKYNYRD" material, and they have been carrying on ever since, releasing lots & lots of New Albums.

The line-up in on this CD Album is as follows:

Gary Rossington - guitar, including slide guitar play
Ed King - guitar
Randall Hall - guitar
Leon Wilkeson - bass guitar
Billy Powell - Keyboards
Artimus Pyle - drums
Custer - drums
Johnny Van Zant - lead vocals

The song set is as follows:

1. Smokestack Lightning (This is their song - not the Howling Wolf" song)
2. Keeping the Faith
3. Southern Women (THIS IS A REAL TREAT!!!)
4. Pure & Simple
5. I've Seen Enough
6. Good Thing
7. Money Man
8. Backstreet Crawler
9. It's a Killer
10. Mama (afraid to say goodbye) - (This song is 7 minutes long, this is a great tribute song, you can feel the sincerity in Johnny's voice).
11. End of the Road

This is a great overall "hard-rocking" ablum CD by Lynyrd Skynyrd. I would consider this a "must-have" for any Lynyrd Skynyrd fan, or any Southern Rock fan, or any Rock fan period!!!! Thanks!!!!

Skynyrd CD
I love it!! This is the 2nd one I've had to buy. This is a great CD!! I recommend anyone who loves Southern Rock to get a copy of this one. I wore the last one out.


Good Rockin Here
NO, ALL THE SONGS ARE NOT GREAT BUT OVERALL IT IS REALLY TIGHT. THIS IS SIMPLY PUT, A REAL GOOD ALBUM. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE REMAINING MEMBERS USING THEIR OWN BAND NAME FOR NEW MUSIC. THE BEATLES ARE PROBABLY THE ONLY KNOWN GROUP WHO NEVER HAD ANY "NEW" MEMBERS. AFTER THE CRASH THEY HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO USE OTHER MEMBERS. AS LONG AS THEY STAY FAITHFUL TO THE MUSIC, THEN KEEP ON ROCKIN. EVEN "TWENTY", "EDGE OF FOREVER", THE CHRISTMAS ALBUM, & "VICIOUS CYCLE" ARE REALLY GOOD ALBUMS. IF YOU EVER LIKED LYNYRD SKYNYRD THEN BUY EM ALL AND "ROCK AND ROLL".


Good album
The songs are primarily Country-hard rock with some gospel influences. This is a good collection of rock songs, and Johnnie Van Zant ahs a good hard rock voice. This was my first Lynyrd Skynyrd album and I can say it's a nice album, it has a positive attitude lyrically and this version of the band does know how to rock.


Buy "Per-Nounced" instead
Theres only two original members left to the band, the new Skynyrd is just a group of wanna be's that joined onto a really cool band that has a good reputation. This album is the same "New Skynyrd" that just doesnt sound good. Johnny Van Zandt is trying to act way to redneck in this album, and most of all, there is just nothing that stands out, it's all just the same old boring tunes. Buy a classic albums instead, like "Per-Nounced", "Second Helping", or "Street Survivors".
