This review is from: Pronounced Leh'-Nerd Skin'-Nerd (Audio CD)

Debut album from raunchy boys of the South. Lynyrd rocks the way ABB rocks except their songs are of shorter nature. Jamming is not as essential to Skynyrd as is to ABB. For only Freebird, let alone the others, this album is essential. I Ain't the One is the very first song in the cd and it is cleverly penned and composed. Tuesday's Gone is prone to many covers. It is a slow one. Gimme Three Steps is humorous. Simple Man is another slow number. Things Goin' On has anti-Semitist lyrics.

This review is from: Pronounced Leh'-Nerd Skin'-Nerd (Audio CD)

It is certainly a great album. It's not a really historical album, but still it shows the geniality behind this band, that represents really well the Southern rock. The album has some really great hits such as "Tuesday is gone" and "Simple man", also featuring their best song ever, "Freebird", which is just fabulous. The longest, and one of the most spectacular guitar solos, a real guitar duel, not talking about the drums: just makes you fly like a freebird. The album starts really well with "I ain't the one". In "Gimme three steps", "Things going on" and "Mississipi Kid", they show us the power of Southern rock. "Poison Whiskey" is just fantastic; a mix of country and hard rock, really well played. Ronnie Van Zant's voice is the typical southern man voice and it gives the band that good ol' red neck taste. And besides, these guys are able to combine three guitars wonderfully well, making the sound complete. Don't forget to pay attention to keyboards, especially when it comes to that old western piano: just amazing.

This review is from: Pronounced Leh'-Nerd Skin'-Nerd (Audio CD)

Pronounced is the best American Band released CD in 1973, (Darkside of the Moon by a British Band). Most people look at Free Bird and just assume it is good, but it is not good, it is great. "I Ain't the One" is a great rocker, "Tuesday's Gone" is a great bluesy type tune. Gimme Three Steps" everyone has heard this one. "Simple Man" is the best song on the album. "Things Goin' On" is one of the best singalong songs ever, great lyrics. "Mississippi Kid" is also great, for God's sake it has a mandolin in it. "Poison Whiskey" is the second best track on the whole CD. "Free Bird" well, it's Free Bird. The most requested song in FM radio history. Sell your dog to buy this.
