Lynyrd Skynyrd and Frynds
* This album is available for purchase on numerous sites online.
Following the tragic Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash in October 1977, chances of any sort of musical reunion of the surviving members looked slim. However, Charlie Daniels gave new hope to fans in January 1979, when he announced "Lynyrd Skynyrd is back!" from the stage at his 5th Annual Volunteer Jam at Nashville's Municipal Auditorium.
In August 1978, in preparation for this tentative return to the stage, the surviving members of Lynyrd Skynyrd had begun rehearsing at Studio One in Doraville, Georgia.
As time passed, word got round that the band were rehearsing at Studio One, and many of their long-time musician friends began to drop by to catch up & wish them well. This led to lengthy late night jam sessions with a revolving cast of musical well-wishers stopping off to join in, and helping the Skynyrd guys shake off the rust from their time away. These jams started sounding so good that it was decided to record events over a few of the sessions, the best of which were broadcast by local radio - the results, as can be heard in their entirety on this CD are nothing short of stunning.
With commentary between songs by Gary Rossington, essentially telling the story of the sessions and detailing exactly who played on which songs and with quite superb sound quality throughout, this is quite possibly the most legendary yet little heard recording that members of Skynyrd were ever involved in.
The tracks are:
1. Jitter Bug
2. Cocaine
3. Reflections
4. Southbound
5. I Don't Want To Go Down There
6. Gospel Song
7. Rhine Stone
8. Call Me The Breeze
Musician Listing:
Gary Rossington - Allen Collins - Artimus Pyle - Billy Powell - Dickey Betts (Allman Brothers Band) - Charlie Daniels - Jimmy Hall (Wet Willie) - Bonnie Bramlett - Robert Nix (Atlanta Rhythm Section) - The Outlaws - Lenny Le Blanc - Taz Digregorio (Charlie Daniels Band) - Mike Duke (Wet Willie) - Barry Bailey (Atlanta Rhythm Section)
