Editorial Reviews

As innovative and influential in their own way as their Southern rock precursors the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd's career was just as star-crossed, perhaps more. Fate dealt them terrible blows in the form of the plane crash that killed singer Ronnie Van Zandt and guitarist Steve and his sister, singer Cassie Gaines; there were subsequent tragedies as well. This set features the biggest hits of the band's original incarnation, such as "Sweet Home Alabama," "Free Bird," "What's Your Name," and "Saturday Night Special," but also includes the potent album tracks "Gimme Three Steps," "You Got That Right," and "That Smell." Skynyrd is overrepresented by greatest-hits sets and live albums, though, and this collection is easily bested by the much deeper collections The Essential Lynyrd Skynyrd and All Time Greatest Hits. No matter how you package it, though, this is still powerful music. --Daniel Durchholz
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.
another one is great is Sweet Home Alabama, get the whole collection, but the only song its missing is Call Me The Breeze.
If this CD had Simple Man, boy I'll rate the CD 1 star. If this
were Call Me The Breeze, here's how this will look.

2. What's Your Name
3. Gimme Three Steps
4. Double Trouble
5. You Got That Right
6. Saturday Night Special
7. That Smell
8. Swamp Music
9. I Aint The One
10. Freebird
