Editorial Reviews
From Amazon.com
Nine of the 17 tracks on this historical curio surfaced on the 1978 LP Skynyrd's First and... Last, but more than a quarter of a century passed between the 1971/'72 sessions that produced these germinating tracks and their full appearance. Skynyrd's First: The Muscle Shoals Album documents a group of young musicians finding their footing, but by no means is it an amateurish affair. While ongoing personnel shifts are in evidence (only Ronnie Van Zant, Albert Collins, and Gary Rossington from the classic lineup appear throughout), the playing and writing is surprisingly tight. It's easy to see why veteran session man Jimmy Johnson, the producer of the sessions, insisted: "I had never heard a band that were that well rehearsed and had their songs together." The excellent liner notes make this package all the more appealing to Lynyrd loyalists. --Steven Stolder
CD Description
To sample Lynyrd Skynyrd's true roots, the 1998 collection SKYNYRD'S FIRST goes back even further than their official debut release, 1973's PRONOUNCED LEH-NERD SKIN-NERD. Comprised of 17 tracks, SKYNYRD'S FIRST showcases early demos and outtakes that the band recorded prior to signing with MCA Records--when they were at their young and hungriest. While someof the tracks have already appeared on past releases (such as 1978's SKYNYRD'S FIRST AND LAST and their 1991 self-titled box set), longtime fans won't want to pass up having such great early versions of "Free Bird", "Simple Man", and the country-tinged "Seasons" on a single disc.
Customer Reviews
Original Skynyrd Recordings !
For any Skynyrd fan, just listen to these recordings, and hear the music in a different light.The music is the same, but slightly different,more raw, just the way it was meant to be.Freebird sounds completely different without the guitar intro.You'll recognise the songs, but not the way you know them !
IN THE BEGINNING.......
THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY ROCK FAN OF ANY GENERATION...THE FIRST STEPS OF THE GREATEST EVER AMERICAN ROCK BAND....SHADES OF FREE & THE WHO,AS WELL AS THEIR OWN UNIQUE SOUND COMBINE TO MAKE THIS A WONDERFUL DOCUMENT THAT STANDS THE TEST OF TIME......AGAIN HITCH A RIDE ON THE FREEBIRD AND EXPLORE THE ROOTS OF THIS BAND.....
Skynyrd's First: a great compilation with great demo versions!!!
A very interesting compilation of demo versions! I really appreciate the sound of the earliest Lynyrd Skynyrd... Free Bird, Simple Man, Trust, are great, but there are also other unreleased songs like "Preacher's Daughter" which are really enjoiable... I heartily recommend this CD!
