180g Vinyl LP - Gatefold Sleeve
Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 381/500!
(Pronounced 'Leh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd) is the debut album from Lynyrd Skynyrd, released in 1973. The album features several of the band's most well-known songs, including "Gimme Three Steps," "Simple Man," "Tuesday's Gone," and "Free Bird," which launched the band to national stardom.
This reissue of the 1973 release (Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-nerd) features an exact reproduction of its original artwork to retain authenticity, and is pressed on 180 gram heavyweight audiophile vinyl. With a catalog of over 60 albums, sales beyond 30 million worldwide and their beloved classic American rock anthem Sweet Home Alabama having over two million downloaded ringtones, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Lynyrd Skynyrd remains a cultural icon that appeals to all generations.
"The genius of Skynyrd is that they un-self-consciously blended album-oriented hard rock, blues, country, and garage rock, turning it all into a distinctive sound that sounds familiar but thoroughly unique. On top of that, there's the highly individual voice of Ronnie Van Zant, a songwriter who isn't afraid to be nakedly sentimental, spin tales of the South, or to twist macho conventions with humor. And, lest we forget, while he does this, the band rocks like a motherf*cker. It's the birth of a great band that birthed an entire genre with this album." -Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic.com
