5.0 out of 5 stars There's plenty of good tunes on this CD., November 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Solo Flytes (Audio CD)

Even though I was LS fan going back to 70's, in 1978 I went off to college and lost track of the original surviving band members so I wasn't familiar with the music on this CD. I was surprised how many great songs are on this album. Billy, Gary & Allen really shine on some of the songs like they did in the original band. The single S. Gaines song is excellent.

If you are not familiar with this music like I was and you like classic Lynyrd Skynyrd (RVZ era) then you'll enjoy this CD. It's a lot of bang for the money. There are 17 songs so even if you didn't care for half the songs you just can't go wrong at this price, just edit the play list and you'll have at least 8 to 9 great tunes. I like the album more and more, each time I listen to it.

I give it a 5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Compilation of the Skynyrd "Spyn-Off" Bands, October 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Solo Flytes (Audio CD)

Solo Flytes is a compilation of the bands that members of Lynyrd Skynyrd were involved in after the plane crash. While one could argue that there is an overabundance of Rossington Collins Band material here, this album is solid all the way through. Highlights here are Steve Gaines' "One In The Sun" (from an album he recorded with his band Crawdad prior to joining Skynyrd), the lovely, acapella "Pine Box", and a live version of "Don't Misunderstand Me" featuring Dixie Dregs/Deep Purple guitarist Steve Morse. Every track here's a winner, so check it out now.

This collection is AWESOME! It goes to show how talented these folks were. There is not a bad track on the album. The only thing that would make it better would be to add another CD and fill it with more songs.
