5.0 out of 5 stars Country tribute to southern rockers, June 4, 2003

This review is from: Skynyrd Frynds (Audio CD)

As country tribute albums became common in the nineties, it was no surprise to see one devoted to Lynyrd Skynyrd, perhaps the best of the southern rock bands that emerged in the seventies.

Least surprising of all is that Alabama (the group) chose to record Sweet home Alabama, a song that really encapsulates the appeal of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Hank Williams Junior contributed Tuesday's gone, but while the other tracks here were recorded especially for this project, Hank's track was simply lifted from his Wild streak album of the late eighties. Wynonna does a fine version of Free bird, while Charlie Daniels digs deeper into the Skynyrd repertoire to cover One more time - not one of their famous songs, but Charlie chose wisely.

With great contributions from Travis Tritt, Confederate railroad, Sammy Kershaw, The Mavericks, Steve Earle and Terry McBride as well as those already mentioned, this is a fitting tribute to a great seventies rock band. The booklet includes a list of Lynyrd Skynyrd CD's available at the time - but since then, a double-CD, Essential, has been released. If you want one collection by the original group, that is the one to buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must have for country and rock fans, September 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Skynyrd Frynds (Audio CD)

Who better to do Sweet Home Alabama than the most popular country band ever Alabama and gosh what a goose bump raiser for any southern boy.For that matter Hank Williams Jr. does a masterful job in what my be his best recording with Tuesday's Gone which sounds it's best at full volume on a dirt road with a cold one in hand. Sammy, Travis, and C.D. also do justice to their remakes. If theres' a weak section it would have to be The Mavricks(please)! And Wyonna whom almost hurt the unhurtable, but the lyrics of the classic Free Bird saved the day. All in all a must for any fan of hard rockin country!

5.0 out of 5 stars Alabama and Wynonna Rock!!!!, June 6, 1999

By A Customer

ALABAMA rocks on this version of "SWEET HOME ALABAMA" and WYNONNA knocks your socks off with her version of "FREEBIRD". These 2 cuts alone are worth the price of the CD.
