Music Review: Skynyrd's debut is still a masterpiece 35 years after its release
Rating: 5 Stars

Floridians Lynyrd Skynyrd's debut album Prounounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd was released in August, 1973.
The band from Jacksonville, Florida first got together when a tough-looking small man with a larger than life presence and voice named Ronnie Van Zant first met guitarist Gary Rossington and drummer Bob Burns while playing baseball. As fate has it, Van Zant hit a foul ball and KO'd Burns and the two plus Rossington planted the seeds for what became Lynyrd Skynyrd. Shortly thereafter, the trio joined forces with guitarist Allen Collins and bass player Leon Wilkeson. To complete the band was ex-Strawberry Alarm Clock guitarist, California native Ed King and then-roadie and keyboardist, Texan native Billy Powell. Shortly thereafter, Wilkeson quit and King went over to bass guitar and with New York music veteran Al Kooper went in the studio to record their debut.
We begin the album with one of the greatest Skynyrd rockers "I Ain't the One" which just kicks and Allen Collins' solos here remind you of Eric Clapton from his days with Cream. Next is the lengthy and melodic rock masterpiece "Tuesday's Gone" which was a great song and had a nice piano solo from Powell and guitar solos from Rossington (who screamed the late Paul Kossof of Free). Next is the southern rock classic "Gimme Three Steps" (which was the first single the band ever released yet tanked upon release and was inspired by a real-life encounter Ronnie had). The first half closer "Simple Man" is a great introspective ballad, but rocks just like the rest of the album.
"Things Go On" starts the second half off and is a classic bluesy rock number at its best (Powell's honky-tonk piano was excellent, Rossington did a classic bluesy solo and Van Zant sang like a possessed madman). "Mississippi Kid" is next and is the most country-sounding thing on the album, but it's still a good track with Ed King playing some tasty slide here (the only track he played guitar on). Next is my personal favorite, "Poison Whiskey". This rocker just smokes (especially Rossington's solo and Powell's piano solo in the middle). The Allman Brothers dld not ever rock out this hard. We close with the legendary 9 minute plus "Free Bird". Allen Collins had written the music back in 1967 and Ronnie hated for years then one day started singing a melody to it and the rest is history. Allen's riff with Rossington's slide gave the song a haunting call to it and Van Zant's lyrics were superb and then ends with the now classic triple tracked guitar solo of Allen Collins who would play this solo with alot of emotion and energy. MCA Records wanted the band to shorten Free Bird to three minutes, the standard record company single running length, but they refused. This track would become a hit two years later but by then was an FM album rock radio staple.
The album barely did get notice upon its 1973 release but over time would become a Multi-Platinum seller.
In 2001, a reissued/remastered/revamped version of the album was released! One of them is "Mr. Banker", a demo which was the B-Side to the Gimme Three Steps single and was a perfect fusion of country and southern rock. The B-Side to the Free Bird single, a little demo called "Down South Jukin'" (a completed version was issued on 1978's Skynyrd's First...And Last), can also be found here as a bonus cut. This is excellent classic southern rock and killer! Lastly, there are three previously unreleased demos of the Skynyrd classics Tuesday's Gone, Gimme Three Steps, and Free Bird.
This album is definitely one of rock's greatest moments and is RECOMMENDED!!!

Where the Allman Brothers and Marshall Tucker had a more restrained, accomplished rock sound, Florida's Lynyrd Skynyrd took another approach, evoking images of whiskey, Confederate flags, hard luck, and greasy dive bars in their music. The like-minded Molly Hatchet and .38 Special couldn't come close to matching the lyrical talent and natural-born rock-and-boogie abilities of Skynyrd. And, of course, no other band can lay claim to the most-requested song in the history of rock music, the anthemic "Free Bird," the focal point of this, their 1973 debut. Aside from spawning countless tomes of bad poetry by pockmarked 15-year-olds everywhere with "Free Bird," they demonstrated a mastery of the rock ballad with the time-tested "Tuesday's Gone," another highlight of this notable first offering. --Lorry Fleming
