Notes: While 1979's GOLD AND PLATINUM is hard to best as definitive Lynyrd Skynyrd collections go, this edition of Universal's PLAYLIST YOUR WAY series gives fans and newcomers alike an opportunity to try. Featuring twelve songs from the band's legendary Ronnie Van Zandt era, this best of includes a coupon for either six additional downloadable tracks and/or a full-length original studio album for download. Consumers can build on hit selections such as "Free Bird," "Sweet Home Alabama," and "Tuesday's Gone" with their own deeper cuts or favorite single Skynyrd album. Packaged in an eco-friendly manner, the coupon also allows fans to access a website featuring a mini-documentary about Skynyrd with rare and behind the scenes footage.

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.
