Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Skynyrd's fourth album wasn't the commercial success they were doubtless hoping for. Though their claim that the Bullets referred to in the title actually referred to bullets on the Billboard albums charts struck many as somewhat ingenuous, there is little doubt that Gimme Back My Bullets was recorded with an eye for the main chance. If you can hear Lynyrd Skynyrd at all over the platoon of backing singers wheeled in for the clumsily self-mythologising "Double Trouble", it is only as men desperately trying to will a repeat of "Sweet Home Alabama" into being. It might have helped, in retrospect, if they'd written a tune to go with it. Clumsy self-mythologising is pretty much the central motif of Gimme Back My Bullets: aside from the heartfelt and rather lovely version of JJ Cale's "I Got The Same Old Blues". That said, Skynyrd's brand of swampy boogie is as efficiently played as ever, and the closing ballad "All I Can Do Is Write About It", while outrageously self-pitying and self-serving, is almost--almost--sufficiently lachrymose to be moving. --Andrew Mueller

Description
Perhaps Lynyrd Skynyrd's most underrated album, 1976's GIMME BACK MY BULLETS was another inspired and consistent set from one of Southern rock's founding fathers. Like its predecessor, NUTHIN' FANCY, Skynyrd's fourth release didn't producea hit single like its first couple of albums had, but therewere several songs that subsequently became standards for the band. Highlights include the album-opening title track, which captures Skynyrd at their toughest, powered on by muscular guitar riffing courtesy of Gary Rossington and the late Allen Collins, as well as "Searching", the latter being included later in the year on ONE MORE FROM THE ROAD.
