Notes
Date of US Release May 20, 2003 Having endured the loss of yet another band member with the passing of original bassist Leon Wilkinson, Skynyrd picks up the pieces yet again and delivers the goods the way only they can. Lyrically they haven't stretched out their list of topics in any new directions...but quite honestly who cares? This is Skynyrd. This isn' t music to study to or scratch your chin by..this isn't the soundtrack to relaxing nights sipping instant coffee and talking about deep feelings. This is homegrown rock and roll music that's about partying and rock & roll, with a little bit of contemplative soul searching mixed in for good measure. The music is still top notch... probably the best it's been since the early nineties. And while the obvious absence of Ronnie Van Zandt will forever haunt the group like a bad plauge, his brother has more than adequately been up to the task - filling those giant shoes with the same passionate dirt and grit in his vocals as Ronnie did all those years ago. The band is the same; still rocking harder than most even after all these years. And for once the phrase "Bonus Track" lives up to its merit; a duet of "Gimme Back My Bullets" between Skynyrd and nu-metal spokesman of the moment Kid Rock is simply the icing on the cake. Easily their best work in years and a welcome return to form for one of rock's most treasured assets.
