4.0 out of 5 stars A solid greatest hits album..., July 26, 2006

This review is from: Freebird: The Very Best of Lynyrd Skynyrd (Audio CD)

Because half of the band died several decades ago, Lynyrd Skynyrd has unfortunately unleashed a pile of greatest hits albums over the years. This happens to be one among many. I gave this particular album 4 stars because there is nothing to distinguish it from the rest.

This release includes the vast majority of Skynyrd's best songs, including the obvious ones "Freebird" and "Sweet Home Alabama," as well as some slightly lesser known hits like "The Ballad of Curtis Lowe." Though every Skynyrd fan could probably list a few favorites that didn't make the cut, I was only disappointed with the absence of "Simple Man." Other than that, this is a great collection.

Honestly, you're probably better off with another greatest hits album, as others are cheaper and more readily available. But if you stumble upon this one, it's solid.
