Playlist Plus [Slipcase]

Performer: Lynyrd Skynyrd
Producer: Andy McKaie (Compilation)
Distributor: Universal Distribution

Notes: Audio Remasterer: Doug Schwartz. The Lynyrd Skynyrd entry in Universal's environmentally friendly, three-disc Playlist Plus series features everything one would expect from an anthology of the world's most renowned Southern rock act. Classic rock radio wouldn't be the same without "Sweet Home Alabama," "Gimme Three Steps," "What's Your Name," "That Smell," and "Free Bird," making this fine collection a no-brainer for the three people in the world who don't already have these songs on one of the billion or so collections released since 1979's Gold & Platinum. ~ James Christopher Monger

During their 1970s heyday, Lynryd Skynyrd emerged as the preeminent practitioners of Southern rock. Their triple-guitar attack and country-tinged songs carved a permanent spot on the playlists of classic rock radio. Since its first release in 1973 their epic hit "Freebird" has received more airplay than anything this side of "Stairway to Heaven." The tragic deaths of visionary lead guitarist Steven Gaines and lead vocalist Ronnie Van Zandt in a 1977 plane crash cut down the band at its peak; but after parting ways for several years, the surviving members re-formed the group, with Van Zandt's little brother Johnny at the helm.
