I got turned on to Lynyrd Skynyrd when I heard 'Sweet Home Alabama' for the first time. I thought I would buy this album to see what they were like over the course of an album. They are awesome! There are no two ways about it, 'Pronounced' is brilliant.
It has it all, great songs, great riffs and one of the most amazing rock songs ever written in 'Freebird'. The guitar solo is longer than most songs!!! I would highly recommend this album to anyone who loves the guitar as an instrument!! Truly amazing!

This Skynyrd line up were superb & this is a very fine record. No quibbles - it's just pure brilliance. Every track is outstanding - great tunes, gritty vocals & superb musicianship. An absolute "must have" (along with all the other albums from the pre plane crash Synyrd).
To be honest, you'd have to be barking mad not to buy this record - it's more than "just" a rock album, it's touched by genius.
Superb in every sense. A truly marvellous record by a truly excellent band.

Although i had heard Skynard tracks before, after buying this album on vinyl resantly i was shocked at it's brilliance. Not only does the album contain the rock classic 'Freebird' argueably rocks second greatest ever track behind Stairway, but all of the other tracks on the record are superb. From the opening riff of 'I ain't the one' the album takes the listener on a good only fashioned rock'n'roll journey which include the haunting 'Tuesday's gone' , the lyricly biting 'Things goin on' as well as the sheer rock genius of 'Gimme three steps'.
To sum this album up is tough all i can say is that as a student of today i , after buying the album exactly 30 years after it's realise, still find it to be as fresh and sensational as it was when first relised.

I'm gonna keep this review short and sweet!
Lynyrd Skynyrd's debut 'Pronounced leh-nerd skin-nerd' is, in my opinion, probably the greatest album ever made... ever! It is as close to perfection as is humanly possible! Every song is spot on so I won't bother naming highlights... Not even Free Bird can steal the show... well, just about! If you like rock music, or in fact any music, this album is a must in your collection. The musicianship on this album is second to none...
I really can't recommend this enough... It truly is a work of music art, and is a lasting memory of why 20th October 1977 was the darkest day in the history of music. Buy and you won't be disappointed, it's that good!
Fly high Free Bird...

Well this is without doubt the album that really put the genre of Southern Rock on the map, and is the album that most people including myself would recommend as a first port of call when investigating the rather diverse but musically exciting genre that is southern rock, this album is a particularly engaging listen from start to finish and showcases the amazing musical talents possessed by these bunch of ragtag whiskey swilling, hard fighting, hard living geezers from Jacksonville, Florida....

It would be unlikely that many people reading this are unfamiliar with Lynyrd Skynyrd,the best band the south ever gave us,so i'll get straight to the point,this is a fantastic album,one of the best ever debuts in the history of rock.
The remaster enhances what was already a superb sounding disc,plaintive vocal from Ronnie van zant,razor sharp guitars fom allen collins/gary rossington and ed king,also note worthy Ed Kings superb Bass playing all held together with Bob Burns drums and Billy Powells keyboards,Leon Wilkenson rejoined after the recording to assume bass duties.
The songs are pretty well known especially the epic 'Freebird' often copied,never bettered,the rockin 'I Aint The One & Gimme 3 Steps,haunting ballad Tuesdays Gone,however the 4 remaining,original album tracks, are less well known and deserve discovering,'Simple Man' smoulders,while 'things Goin On' struts the way only southern bands can,leaving a taut 'Mississippi kid' and exuberant 'Poison Whisky' snap and snarl out of the speakes,a perfect set of songs from a perfect album.
Bonus Tracks : 5 in all 'Mr Banker' and 'Down South Jukin' have been released before,worth hearing none the less.The remaining 3 demo tracks are all unreleased 'Gimme 3 steps','Freebird' and a stringless 'Tuesdays Gone',again all worth hearing,the icing on the cake,tracks 1-8 are the real deal and stand up after all these years,in fact 4 of them still feature in the current live set.

classic that time only slightly manages to wear away
Classic rock n roll, fresh enough to still taste the blues, brilliantly timeless, well except for the lyrics which are absolutely mindless twaddle. Read more
