FIRST TIME HEARING | Lynyrd Skynyrd - I Need You

[@stevedahlberg8680]

You just referenced the album cover and the reason it's called Second Helping is because it was their second album. I deeply love that album as do many Lynyrd Skynyrd fans.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I paused it to comment right in the middle where you paused it to comment and I think that is just a wonderful insight, and I thought a lot about it. But the way you ended up putting it, is really thought-provoking. That's why most of the time I really am a strong advocate of listen to the studio recording first, you will hear what they really meant and you will hear what all of us heard on the radio growing up which was the only way we knew it until we went out and bought the vinyl and then it still was the same sound with no video. You did actually get to see sometimes stuff on TV or definitely in tabloids and magazines and definitely in magazines like the Rolling Stone and new music express and some of the others. If you were lucky, you might in rare circumstances get to go see a particular favorite band in concert if everything worked out just right, especially at that super young age. And then the still images that you would see in the magazines came to life if you were lucky enough to watch them live and people would go nuts because precisely there was such a lack of any sort of visual to go with it.

Great reaction to a great Skynyrd tune. Tuesdays Gone from their first album is one you should try out. You will love it!

You're right " Tuesdays Gone is fire, On the Hunt is fire, Gimme Back My Bullets is fire, The Ballad of Curtis Lowe is fire, Coming Home is fire, Simple Man is fire, Needle & Spoon is fire, Can't forget the show closer they did, Firebird pure fire. Great band that left us so many great songs in the 4 year period that they were around until that fucken plane crash on 10/20/77. What a damn shame to be cut down in their prime when they were just getting noticed. Thank you for leaving us the wonderful music to enjoy and Ronnie asks in the song Freebird " If I leave here tomorrow, will you still remember me ? Yes Bro we still remember you 40+ years after y'all had that terrible plane crash. Y'all are deeply missed.

Growing up, I would visit a record store and look at the albums and sometimes I would by the vinyl. On Saturday afternoon there was a program called Soul train and it would have bands that were popular play songs. There was also American Bandstand that would do the same.

Smooth song? Coming Home by Lynyrd Skynyrd 🔥

[@unclephil7650]

Good question. My answer would be no, I do not think it could make it without a video nowadays.

Ballad of Curtis Loew is one I'm sure you would like by them , check it out please, thanks, great reaction

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Oh yes! It really would be fascinating for him. It's definitely what I would call smooth despite all the emotional impact.

As far as this song tasting good, Yes I would say it's like the best steak you ever had, no salad no baked potato, no sides needed, maybe a glass of sweet tea, savored slowly one bite at a time🥩🧃

[@stevedahlberg8680]

This is so beautiful in that way and they have a ton of smooth ones Believe it or not, many of them hits, like Tuesday's gone. But to me, the smoothest by far is from one of their earliest recordings and it was when Ricky Medlock that later went on to form Blackfoot was in the band playing drums but he sang lead on a few of them you know and Ronnie Van Zant would either do Harmony, or just what he does during any of their extended guitar solos, just roam around the stage and be really cool and he's just kind of a team leader and it's really fantastic. The song is called, White Dove. It's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard that you do have Rickey medlocke singing lead on that one, but it's all the same guys working all their same magic. It's a slow waltz.

Try “on the hunt”

Nope. Late 60s through early 70s, and then again as the 80s turned into the 90s. Since then it has been as bland as the late 50s to early 60s. Yes, there has been some amazing music in every era, but as a whole ...
