though they are beautiful, i never really enjoyed ballads like "Tuesday's Gone"...i prefer the balls-out rock of "I Ain't The One"

Tightest, hottest, most organized guitar work in history. When PRONOUNCED came out early 70s it shook the South then spread thru US & world wide.

2nd helping great also...then some collapse (drugs, alchohol & bad MGT). Shame what happened to American Treasure.

My other old time favorite, MTB. Same timeframe.

my favorite Skynyrd song is Don't Ask Me No Questions. i usually don't care for lyrics, but i find these particular ones on this song funny
