DEFINITIVE COLLECTION: 2 CDs Of Digitally Remastered Hits!
Universal's GOLD Series.
The Lynyrd Skynyrd that was inducted Rock’N’Roll Hall of Fame, of course, was the original Southern rock leviathan blighted by tragedy upon tragedy, and not the current touring cash cow led by family members who rhyme. As such, it was represented by the few street survivors, Kid Rock, and a plethora of relations, friends, and latter day replacements. Following Skynyrd’s induction, the Universal Music Group sprang into action, proving Ozymandias of Osbourne’s initial point for him in spades, by re-releasing the 1998 double CD compilation, The Essential Lynyrd Skynyrd, under its broad-church GOLD branding. There’s been at least a dozen Skynyrd compilations in the 30 years since the plane crash, and the very first thing that has to be said about GOLD is that, like all its predecessors, this is neither an essential nor a definitive Skynyrd collection. The second is that, for all its many faults, it nonetheless underlines the frequently forgotten fact that Lynyrd Skynyrd was one hell of a fine band. Indeed, Skynyrd was probably the greatest American rock band of all time, backing their triple threat guitar sound with exceptional songs that brought significant elements of blues, soul, and country music to the mix.

There’s a simple countdown. One. Two. Three. And the tension is already palpable in the encircling misty echo. Cymbals seem somehow to be moving backwards like evil spirits across the swamp. A simple drum pattern stutters through the confusion. And then a circular saw riff hacks a path through the fog, offering four bars of pure rock’n’roll promise before a wolf whistle welcomes the sudden first peeled-off guitar solo of the eight or nine hundred that grace the album. And then as the solo slips slowly away whence it came, Ronnie Van Zant finally begins to tell us a typically simple, down-home Southern story. Where GOLD, like so many compilations, goes wrong is in assuming that all albums were created equally and that it’s important to reflect a band’s entire career. Not so. As the selections here prove quite conclusively, the essential Lynryd Skynyrd is actually their first two albums — the arguably self-titled debut and the equally powerful Second Helping, plus a handful of other noteworthy tracks. So there’s plenty here to love and to recommend. Just not enough to do the band justice. GOLD can, perhaps, be best summed up by the fact that both CDs finish with, whatever else, “Freebird”. The first, and superior, disc ends with the studio version recorded for that self-titled debut album. The second chooses to draw things to a close with the 13 minute version that featured on the band’s 1976 live album One More From The Road. Truly astounding performance of the same song that Lynyrd Skynyrd turned in at Knebworth that same year, when they truly, completely and entirely blew away the headlining Rolling Stones in a blaze of Southern boogie glory.
