This review is from: An All-Star Tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd (Audio CD)

THIS IS ONE GREAT TRIBUTE ALBUM CD!!! IT WAS RELEASED DURING 2007, THE 30TH YEAR AFTER THE 1977 LYNYRD SKYNYRD PLANE CRASH. DURING 1997, LYNYRD SKYNRD THE BAND DID AN ALBUM CD "TWENTY" TO COMMENORATE THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CRASH. SO THE TIMING OF THIS IS A GREAT TRIBUTE FOR THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CRASH THAT LYNYRD SKYNYD FANS WILL NEVER FORGET!

THE CD CONSISTS OF 13 SONGS, ALL BUT ONE ARE LYNYRD SKYNYRD CLASSICS, SUNG AND PERFORMED BY ARTISTS THAT ADMIRED THEM ARE PAYING TRIBUTE TO THEM.

You get "Freebird" by Molly Hatchet and Charlie Daniels (Great!)

"Sweet Home Alabama" by the Outlaws featuring Hughie Thomasson on vocals
(just like Ronnie VAn Zant said "turn it UP"

"Double TRouble" by Artimus Pyle, Ed King and Leslie Hawkins and Jo Jo Billingsly (the Original Honkettes)

There are many other songs also featuring: Great White, Canned Heat, Jim Dandy, Pat Travers, Dangeous Toys, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Rick Derringer, Sky Saxon and the Seeds, and Joey Covington and Jefferson Airplane.

You get a special performance by Rickey Medlocke "Seasons", this is the only song that is not a Skynyrd classic.

THIS IS A GREAT TRIBUTE CD TO A GREAT BAND, AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!

Thank you for this CD. Great price, fast shipment. I am enjoying it- especially the Jim Dandy version of "What's your name". Thanks again.
