Lynyrd Skynyrd - Street Survivors
(1977, MCA)




A solid album before tragedy struck this band. Ronnie is wearing a Neil Young Tonight's The Night T-shirt. Neil and Ronnie had some mutual admiration - a quote from Cameron Crowe:

Neil Young gave a tape to Joel Bernstein to give to me which I gave to Ronnie [Van Zant], that had three songs on it - "Captain Kennedy," "Sedan Delivery," and "Powderfinger" - before they'd come out. And he wanted to give them to Lynyrd Skynyrd if they wanted to do one of his songs. They didn't fit on Street Survivors.

Neil loved that band and said they reminded him of the Buffalo Springfield and they made him yearn for the days of the Buffalo Springfield. He loved Lynyrd Skynyrd and he loved being mentioned in the song.

Being a huge Neil Young fan, I sort of appointed myself as cheerleader for that love affair to happen and blossom. I think it was happening - Ronnie was wearing that [Neil Young] shirt on the album cover and on the road. I was really happy to be able to play a part in getting some new Neil songs into Ronnie's hands. I don't remember what he had to say about it, but he was a huge Neil Young fan.

I don't think I've seen this cover with the songs listed on the front. The usual scorching music.

I just popped it on at that point.

It is an amazing CD. My favorite out of the bunch. It will be in the car but I imagine you have a copy. Good one to compare cones to horns!

My woofs have cones!!...yeah got copies of that one all over the place. Ripped to the computer...takes only a few minutes to make a new one...

Thanks! That is some nice fishin' in your neck of the woods. I haven't done any lake or stream fishing in a few years, but my son and I might try some salt water fishing in Puget Sound on Sunday.

Have it on CD. Wonderfully un-PC.
