Honky Tonk Heaven!,
This review is from: Street Survivors (Audio CD)
Although this was the final album recorded by Lynyrd Skynyrd before the tragic plane crash in 1977, "Street Survivors" does not disappoint. The band are in fine form & inspired by the addition of Steve Gaines on lead guitar & vocals, who's influence is prominent on much of the record. The material here is superb throughout, with notable rockers, "What's Your Name?", "That Smell", "I Know a Little", & "You Got That Right", which all include classic guitarwork by Allen Collins, Gary Rossington & Gaines. As always, Ronnie VanZant's vocals are a pleasure & Billy Powell gets in some excellent piano solos on "I Know a Little" & the cover, "Honky Tonk Night-Time Man", which has a great drum intro by Artimus Pyle. The ballad, "One More Time" sees the return of ex members, Ed King & Rickey Medlocke, on guitar & drums respectively. This remastered edition has bonus tracks, including "Jacksonville Kid", which is basically "Honky Tonk Night-Time Man", but with different lyrics by VanZant. "Street Survivors", a masterpiece of classic rock.

How far could this line-up have gone?,

This review is from: Street Survivors (Audio CD)
Skynyrd were big, and on the verge of huge in 1977 when this was released...we all know why it didn`t happen, but this is one helluva testament to the amazing line-up of Van Zant - Rossington - Collins - Gaines - Powell - Wilkeson - Pyle. Gary Rossington is the only one left in the current line-up, which is dangerously close to a karaoke act (although I do respect Rickey Medlocke, a member of both the current band, and the original, pre-debut album Lynyrd Skynyrd). But this was something else; obviously, like all people with functioning ears, I love the other Skynyrd studio albums, and the live one. But this is my favourite. Gaines really brings something special to the party, with his classy soloing and songwriting. No weak points for me on this album - but personal highlights are "That Smell" (about Rossington`s substance abuse and car crash), the bar-room feel of "You`ve Got That Right", the marvellous, classic Skynyrd feel of "I Never Dreamed" (I adore the closing solo), and the phenomenal take of Merle Haggard`s "Honky Tonk Night Time Man" - dobro, piano, guitar...it has everything!
So, just in case there is anyone out there who is in two minds about whether they need "Street Survivors" in their collection? Well, I think it`s the best thing they did.

Brilliant,
This review is from: Street Survivors (Audio CD)
Well, if you're into fruity little guitar licks and the blues in general, the greatest southern rock band's last album is here for you. Before purchasing it I had only heard about two of the songs on the album and was immediately persuaded to get it and the fact that every review I read seemed to have nothing but good points about it. On the other hand, I know some people are'nt a fan of the vocals (which i think is one of the best bits). Overall I reckon it was money well spent.
