"A VERY SWEET SKYNYRD CD"

CUT SIX (SWEET HOME ALABAMA) IN ALL A AWSOME ACOUSTIC CD FROM THE GREATEST SOUTHERN BAND EVER THAT SET FOOT ON THIS PLANET I ALWAYS LOVED LYNYRD SKYNYRD THEN AND NOW THEIR 1 OF A KIND MAN

an AWESOME CD from an AWESOME BAND !!!

"Endangered species" is incredibly good. The acoustic versions of the songs are almost better than the studio ones. "sweet home Alabama" will not desappoint you and some other songs sound will blow you away!!! I speak about "Devil in a bottle" with its awesome slide guitar solo, "Good Luck, Bad Luck"(that rocks!!!), and my favorite on the album : "the Last Rebel"...
A MUST HAVE if you like acoustic-rock !!!

EXCELLENT!

This album is a joy to listen to, I have worn it out..the sound quality is crystal-clear, as if you were sitting right in the room with the players. "Devil in the Bottle" is a gem! I would get this one...

Gimme Three Stars

Good Singing. Good playing. The only great Skynyrd disc from the "reunion" band.The newer songs almost stand up to the classics.Johnny Van Zandt's vocals are especially good.Any fan from any era should love it.

nothing better than some good ole down home skynyrd......

Skynyrd Unplugged

Released in 1994, Endangered Species is Lynyrd Skynyrd's response to the "unplugged" phenomenon, featuring all acoustic instruments. Typically, Skynyrd delivers the goods, and this is a great disc!! While it has a couple of their hits ("Sweet Home Alabama", "Saturday Night Special" & "I Ain't The One"), it also has a strong collection of lesser known songs ("Down South Jukin", "Things Goin' On", "Am I Losin'", "Poison Whiskey"), as well as "The Last Rebel", from the post-crash version of the band. All of these are great, especially Sweet Home Alabama. The acoustic versions have a wonderful "laid back" feel, like your hanging out while the guys jam. The guitar playing is predictably strong, there's some great slide guitar or dobro on a couple of songs.

The best part, though, is the 5 new songs. "Devil In The Bottle", is worth the price of the CD, up there among my favorite Skynyrd songs. "All I have is a Song", "Good Luck, Bad Luck" and "Hillbilly Blues" are all top-notch. There's also a cover of "Heatbreak Hotel", with a bluesy feel.

From a personel standpoint, there's 4 of the original members: guitarists Gary Rossington and Ed King, bassist Leon Wilkerson, and, of course, Billy Powell on the piano. Johnny Van Zant continues to fill brother Ronnie's shoes as vocalist, as he has on all of the post-crash Skynyrd efforts. Also on guitar is Mike Estes, and Owen Hale plays drums.

This disc is a must-have for any Skynyrd fan!!
