Various Artists - An All-Star Tribute To Lynyrd Skynyrd

The classic lineup of Lynyrd Skynyrd prior to the 1977 plane crash that killed three of its members, of all bands, deserves a tribute album. The definitive Southern-Rock band, Skynyrd will always have a place in the heart of most music fans.

A tribute album is often a dubious choice of projects, but at least on this album those involved are the real deal, and not some glory-hunting pop acts with few credentials and even less justification, as has been known on some similar commercial ventures.

Some of the songs work, and some don't, but the music is played with heart and soul and does no harm to the memory of one the great rock bands. Can't ask for much more than that.
