Skynyrd's Most Underrated Album
08/14/1998
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Critics seem to call this Lynyrd Skynyrd's worst album, and while it doesn't isn't as consistant as Second Helping or Street Survivors, the album is still very good. Part of the problem with this album is the horrible production by Tom Dowd. This sound is dull and muddy, making it a chore to listen to soundwise. Luckily, the music on this album is good enough to make you forget the horrible sound mix. Due to the fact that third guitarist Ed King had departed before the recording of the album, the LP has a more stripped down feel than any of Skynyrd's other albums. Highlights of the album are the beautiful ballads "All I Can Do Is Write About It" and "Every Mother's Son", and the rockers "Searching" and the title track. You can't go wrong with this album."
Skynyrd Best Album "period"

"Ronnie laid it out on this recording. Roll Gypsy Roll is as real as it gets. I'm a true Skynyrd fan and trust me All I can do is write it in a song is the saddest song ever recorded. This is the best album Ronnie ever wrote. Don't let them Hollywierd critic types tell you differently. Searchin is a song to live by and Every mothers son you better here what Ronnie said. Buy it you will only be disappointed when you realize that Ronnie ain't with us no more."
