https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQfEHuDN_gE Track List: 1. I Ain't the One 2. Tuesday's Gone 3. Gimme Three Steps 4. Simple Man 5. Things Goin' On 6. Mississippi Kid 7. Poison Whiskey 8. Free Bird Released in 1973, Pronounced Leh-nerd Skin-nerd plays like the band's greatest hits record at the first point of asking, expertly distilling the essence of Southern rock into 8 tracks of Southern-fried swagger; the equivalent of being given a shot of Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey when you were expecting a swig of moonshine. Free Bird may be the overplayed, over-familiar reference point but it's status as a stone-cold Hard Rock classic remains undiminished; it is absolute perfection and one of the ultimate air-guitar anthems. Fortunately, the album has much more to offer than just "Free Bird"; "Simple Man" retains its power and anthemic classics "Tuesday's Gone", "Gimme Three Steps" and "I Aint the One" continue to age gracefully; classics each and every one of them. The Southern Rock sub-genre was practically defined by this album with all that followed trembling in the wake of its sheer confidence, gun-slinging attitude and story-telling supremacy.

I love Heavy Metal, and generally anything that involves a guitar and loud noises, so I figured it was about time I put all the useless information in my head to good use and start writing a few things. Most of the time I'll be writing nonsense but occasionally I may surprise myself and appear half-way knowledgable.....but you can be the judge of that. Thanks for your fleeting attention!
