"I have been a Skynyrd fan since the early 70's when I was a teenager. I owned several Skynyrd LPs then as well. I purchased several greatest hits CDs to try and capture as many of my favorite tunes as I could without buying a dozen CDs. This compilation of the best Skynyrd tunes was what I was looking for. It epitomizes the group's versitility in ballads like "Simple Man" and "I Need You", the down home southern rock style of "Saturday Night Special" and "Workin' for MCA", and of course the classics "Free Bird" and "Sweet Home Alabama". If you're a Skynyrd fan you can't go wrong with this CD collection."
RIP Lynyrd Skynyrd

"Billy Powell is dead, God bless him.
How many bands get to live twice? And die twice?
From a legal angle Lynyrd Skynyrd died with Billy.
What is left is some of the greatest music ever recorded. From the undeniable classics, Sweet Home Alabama and Free Bird, to lesser known Mississippi Kid and Whiskey Rock-A-Roller, this is a collection of truly great music.
Tuesday's Gone may be the proper epitatph for Billy and Lynyrd. Billy's keyboard work shines on this cut as it does on so many. Somehow it's appropriate.
While all of the music is outstanding, I am in awe of The Ballad of Curtis Loew. It is a song of the real South.
JJ Cale's Call me the Breeze makes for a rocking road song. The list goes on.
This is a good collection. It is probably the best representation of any collection I have seen of any band.
Treat yourself and go for it!"
This was a gift
