"This is a great sounding CD...the production is very good,meaning it sounds good at low or loud volumes. Musically,these two Southern boys have collectively done what I think the revamped Skynyrd has failed to do;record a CD in which every song is really good. Right Side Up is listed as being inspired by Stevie Ray Vaughan for getting his life together. The brothers are only given credit for the vocals and writing the songs. Hat's off to the players that contributed to this effort. The guitar playing is VERY bluesy,while also sounding distinctly "southern".
I think Ronnie Van Zant would be extremely proud of his sibling's effort.
I'd buy this again...you should get you a copy yourself.
Keep the faith..."

"This is an excellant CD! If you're a fan of Van Zant you already know how good they are, and if you haven't listened to them yet, then you're really missing out!"
This would be an excellent choice

"I'm not a major 'southern rock' fan. I like Skynyrd as a casual fan. I only own the greatest hits package, which is enough for me. I mean, who can't love 'Freebird'. I'm not a big .38 Special fan. I liked there radio hits back in the day but you won't find me popping in one of there CD's nowadays (never mind the fact that I don't own one, but you get the drift). But lately, with a majority of bands putting out crap for music I have gravitated to the European melodic rock scene and the 'retro' sound of the 70's rock. Bands like Wolfmother, The Answer, and Roadstar are re-igniting the torch marvelously. In my quest to find music that showcases musicians rather than corporate crap rock I came across Van Zant. I gotta say, I love this album. This is a solid effort from start to finish and it boggles the mind why this album didn't receive radio play. I know there are Skynyrd fans out there who think that these guys are sacrilege and there no one will ever be able to walk in Ronnie's musical genius. All I can say to that is 'yeah, so'. These guys are musicians who love making music and if they make it this good then I'll be building up my 'Van Zant' collection. Like it for what it is and not for what it isn't because it's not Ronnie. And lest we forget, we may be fans of Ronnie and mourn his passing, but they are his brothers. So get over it and enjoy the present."
