pichu210's Full Review: All Time Greatest Hits by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Let's start with the album cover on this one. What a classic. It's a picture of a very young Lynard Skynard. We all know that they are not so young now, right?
The CD contains 14 of the most popular, although not necessarily the best songs of the band. Some of them I love, but there are other songs I would have liked to see on here.
The track list is:
Sweet Home Alabama
Gimme Three Steps
Simple Man
Saturday Night Special
Swamp Music
The Ballad of Curtis Lowe
Call Me the Breeze
Comin Home
Gimme Back my Bullets
What's Your Name
You Got That Right
All I Could Do is Write About It
That Smell and
Free Bird
Lynard Skynard are some of the best story tellers to come out of the south. Songs like Gimme Three Steps and Curtis Lowe entertain musically, but also tell a great story.
Sweet Home Alabama is probably one of Skynard's best known songs and is great.
Simple Man teaches a great lesson to all of us. What's Your Name is just a fun song to listen to.
The live version of Free Bird is my least favorite cut of the CD. These guys are a tight band both live and in the studio,but this version is just too long and drawn out for me. Free Bird is not one of my favorites anyway.
I would have liked to see Don't Ask Me No Questions on here. I'm not sure that that's the right title, but if you are a fan, you know what song I mean.
Greatest hits CD's are my favorites, and this is one of the best. Would I change a few things? Sure, but this CD gets a lot of play from me.
