Lynyrd Skynyrd - Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd (1973)

I loved the title and LP cover, and never stopped digging the music. Lynyrd Skynyrd was one of the few bands I turned my musically more knowledgeable buddy Elvin onto. This is "blaze till you faze" twin-guitar rock at its finest. While their blues-rock may be less subtle than that of their fellow Southerners the Allmans, LS knew the hybrid well enough to effectively twist and bend it.
