Two years after the tragedy of the plane crash that killed members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Gary Rossington and Allen Collins, who miraculously survived the crash, put together this band in their names and released two albums, of which this was the second.
Two more Skynyrd members, Billy Powell and Leon Wilkeson also joined and the band was completed by female vocalist Dale Krantz. The vibe on this record is a watered down version of Skynyrd, a Skynyrd lite if you will as the songs aren’t that strong. The band do rock out on tracks like my favourite track Fancy Ideas, those dual guitars sound so sweet but those moments are too few to mention I’m afraid.
It was a gimme that Skynyrd would reform at some point as it was the name that made the money.
6.5/10 from The Grooveman.
