Lynyrd Skynyrd / Second Helping (1974)


USA

Southern Rock, Hard Rock

Although the musical quality of the first album is declining, it is at least as good an album. They still believe in the Confederacy. In fact, Sweet Home Alabama, where they mock Neil Young, will almost become the national anthem of the Confederacy in time. It is a fact that they returned to the roots of Rock'n Roll with their debut album. But the fact that they believe in the Confederacy idea still bothers me. Still, their use of guitar is legendary. Sweet Home Alabama, The Ballad of Curtis Loew and Swamp Music are my favorites from the album.
