LYNYRD SKYNYRD Pronounced Leh-nerd Skin-nerd (MCA-3019) US 2nd Pressing MINT-
Here`s a US second pressing of Lynyrd Skynyrd`s phonetically-titled debut album on MCA Records (August 1973). Initially released in summer of 1973, this is an identical US pressing from 1977. Difficult to find in this condition!
"Lacking both hippie roots and virtuosos, post-Allmanites like ZZ Top, Marshall Tucker, and Wet Willie become transcendently boring except when they get off a good song. But in this staunchly untranscendent band, lack of virtuosos is a virtue, because it inspires good songs, songs that often debunk good-old-boy shibboleths. Examples: "Poison Whiskey," "Mississippi Kid," and "Gimme Three Steps," where Ronnie Van Zant, instead of outwitting the dumb redneck the way onetime Dylan sideman Charlie Daniels does in "Uneasy Rider," just hightails it out of there. Savvy production from onetime Dylan sideman Al Kooper." Rating: A - Robert Christgau
