About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Having endured the loss of yet another bandmember with the passing of original bassist Leon Wilkeson, Skynyrd picks up the pieces yet again and delivers the goods the way only it can. Lyrically, the band hasn't stretched out its 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 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 '90s. And while the obvious absence of Ronnie VanZant will forever haunt the group like a bad plague, 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 that title; 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 Skynyrd's best work in years and a welcome return to form for one of rock's most treasured assets. Rob Theakston, All Music Guide

August 09, 2004: Skynyrd didnt have to prove anything else in their career, but their greatness keeps movin on and especially does with this album, as they even more firmly establish themselves as the best rock band ever!!!! "That's How I Like It", "The Way" and "Red, White and Blue" come off as their best songs on the album, with "Red, White and Blue," being yet another great anthem for concerts or anywhere. "Dead Man Walking" reminds you of the old Skynyrd band and "Pick 'Em Up" just get ya movin around with its duet with Rickey Medlocke as they are just havin a fun time jamin. Skynyrd, with its rock, also hits upon some more country sounding songs again with "Sweet Mama" and "Rockin' Little Town." They also hit up very good and important topics in "Lucky Man", "Crawl", "Life's Lessons and "Hell or Heaven." They put great messages into their songs as they always will and have, and have a song dedicated to their long-time bass player Leon Wilkeson who passed away while making this album. This album just proves once again that Southern Rock and Lynyrd Skynyrd is the best music around, as they can play all genres in music into one with a little country, blues and rock which makes up their great sound and legend of the best group ever...LYNYRD SKYNYRD!
